I let my son play some game of the internet, and ever since these crazy websites comes up automatic. A I.Q. site and some dating sites. I can not stop them and they just keep comming. I hope someone can help.

Go to Malwarebytes.org and use the free version of their Anti-Malware program.
Then I'd download the free Spybot S&D program and have it scan your entire system.

After doing what Glenn suggests...DON'T let your son play on your computer again.
Buy him one of his own so that he can enjoy the results of his own downloads and installs.

Then, he can get his own computer infected and zombified until your ISP notices it and cuts off your whole house. How do I know this ?

Frank, just by your reply I feel that what might have happened to you almost once happened to me. Youngsters like to open almost everything just to see whats on your computer, right down t my computer and control panel

you have a smit fraud variant Malwarebytes will not work. spybot wil not get it all either.. You will need a specific cleaner.. IT will come back. I promise.
I get at least 4 calls a month for this one. ITs my second retirement plan..

What specific cleaner, a 44 mag. and a shop vac.

Buren,
Just google SmitFraud and you'll find a lot of sources for the fix. They're free.

Combofix and smitfraudfix, then a sweep with malwarebytes to mop up the residue. If cf and smitfraudfix won't run when you execute them, copy them to c:\ and rename to anything you want so long as it ends in .exe HTH
