Computers and Smoke, Oh My!

O.k. I am having computer problems and I HATE computer problems. We have a laptop which is mostly used for work and a desktop which we all use at home. Recently our Internet connection on the desktop became really slow after a pop-up program called "MyFreeze" started appearing. We have three different anti-virus and anti-spyware programs on the computer and none of them can get rid of this thing. Then unfortunately when I went to get on the internet on the desktop the other night there was no accessible web page despite the internet connection being all good. So to make a long story short I am obsessing over how to fix the problem and have not come up with a solution yet. Even if I get rid of the Spyware problem how do I get the internet browser to work again? Any suggestions?

On a side note, I am praying for everyone in CO who has asthma or weak respitory systems. We woke up to a cloudy sky which at first I thought meant cold weather and then my son pointed out that the sun was bright red. Turns out the sky today had a eary haze to it from the wild fires burning all the way from California, which made it look cloudy all day and caused the morning sun to take on a strange red glow. It still smells outside like a giant bomb fire. Needless to say it is not helping my son or husband any who have allergies.
