downloading problems
My computer won't let me download files or programs from the internet. It always kicks me to a website nkvd.us/1526. I wondered if this was an adware or spyware problem and tried to download programs but it won't even let me download that. I can not download anything without getting kicked to that website. Any ideas on how to fix this? This is my first time on here so I'm not sure what other information with help people give me ideas on this. Please help!!!

It does sound like you've been hijaked. I suggest is that you ask a friend to download HijackThis v 1.99.1 from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html (scroll down to official downloads section)
It should fit on a floppy (it's only a 208KB download, a zip file), so ask your friend to save it on a floppy.
Take the floppy to your PC, copy the file to its own folder (e.g. c:\hijackthis, create the folder first), extract the contents of the zip file to the same folder (it just contains the file hijackthis.exe). If you can't extract the file, download and install Winzip from
http://www.winzip.com/ (free trial version) and use that.
Double click on hijackthis, click scan. When it has finishd scanning, DO NOT LET IT FIX ANYTHING (most of the entries it reports are OK, in fact needed). Save the log. Open that in Notepad, copy/paste its contents onto a new post in the Virus/Spyware information forum here; an expert will look at it for you and advise what you should let HijackThis fix.
An alternative would be to get MS Antisyware, but that is a much larger download (6.5MB), so it would need to be burned onto CD
