I ran combofix and still have an issue. After doing an internet search and clicking on a link, a whole bunch of pop up boxes opened up. Since then, I have "lost" many files saved on my desktop, when i do an internet search and click on the link to the desired website, it brings me to other website links and sometimes when not even on the internet, a random audio advertisement will run on my speakers. I tried to restore my computer to an earlier date, but that did not work...when this was attempted and my computer rebooted, those "lost" desktop files showed up for about 5 seconds, but then disappear again
