If the radio channel makes you download a specific software it can be its a virus, however if its in-browser it can’t be the problem, and if they are in your e-mails, as long as you don’t open them they wont effect you.
BTW download AVG free or any anti-virus really, it will help a lot

Neither listening to online radio nor getting on Facebook infected your computer. Most infections come from clicking on links (especially in emails) &/or downloading & installing software online.
You should be running an antivirus program. There are several out there that are free, if money’s an issue. Also, many internet service providers allow you to download & install commercial antivirus programs at no cost to you (Comcast, for instance). I’ve given you links to some free ones below.
Download & install one of them & do a full system scan. It should find & remove any infections on your Compaq system for you.
