Question: what does it mean when i keep getting a virus that says "tracking families detected on this system." how do I get rid of it?

Answer: You most likely have spyware, adware and or a virus.\nCheckout AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy.\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nThey're free.\nGet them both.\nDon't download them from anywhere else.\nRun one then the other. Between them you'll get rid of all adware and spyware.\n\nFor Spybot after running the Search & Destroy part, click the Immunize shield. Click the green '+' to immunize your system against attempts to install spybot and adware.\n\nI've been using these for years and run them 3 to 4 times a year.\n\nAlso get an anti-virus product.\nHere's a free one, but other versions are worth the money.\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/
