Crash while Firefox running. Go "blue screen" asking for me to install an operating system. Managed to reboot and run super antispyware program, which "hung up" (ran very slowly it appears) until 170 adware items were found. Now must close out browsers to remove the adware items. What file types can you accept? Have some documentation as images in a .doc file.

Stuff found in the Cache is harmless if left alone and will get deleted if you clear the Cache or overwritten over time.
