All my programs are "infected" and = can't do anything. I have the computer in safe mode but do not know what to do from there.
Do you see popups saying you have to buy something to fix it?
If you have those, that's a rogue virus that comes from having no real antivirus and the rogue pretends to be a legit antivirus thus tricking the user into buying it.
However you should still scan just in case.
