to all friends and family who have windows issues

If you’re having virus or adware issues I would first run this:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
then this:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html
if it’s slow or just not working right or if those programs don’t work, backup all your data and reinstall windows, then avast, then spybot, before you install anything, surf or read any email. Most of those programs that “clean” your system are worthless. When dealing with viruses and adware on windows, prevention is key.
If your browser is doing funky things, try a different one. The main free ones are IE, Firefox, and Safari.
If you never want to have to deal with these issues again, buy a mac or install Ubuntu. You might have other issues, just not these.

Reinstalling windows can help. Installing Ubuntu is a fantastic idea as it is really good at web surfing etc. for the average user.
