Computer forgeted up

[Jetlok]

I was just doing normal stuff, browsing forums, blah blah, then Firefox(lol) closed and Windows XP Security stuff pops up and says Firefox has a super dangerous virus. I tell it I don't give a damn and try to use Firefox anyway but the thing that scans for viruses pops up and tells me to buy and register some stuff to delete the viruses. I can't open Chrome and Yahoo Messenger won't log in. I restarted my computer twice and there was a ton of different processes open that I've never seen before and there was about 10 "eqi.exe"s open. When I tried to open Firefox/Chrome eqi.exe also came up in processes but only once. Windows XP Security Whatevertheforget likes to make my computer totally unable to connect to the internet. How do I fix this?

tl;dr stuffty default virus scanner won't open any browser or let me go on the internet.

Typing this on mom's tiny labtop, btw.

Try some super magical virus removal stuff in safe mode.

If that doesn't work, google for a fix.

Use a more reliable site.

EQI is malware.

You could always try the very simple "Change the name of the virus scanner's exe" trick.

I really hate these.

They can put themselves in system restore, they can appear to be gone, but really just be dormant, they're really annoying.

Not really...

I have never gotten any virus bullstuff. My programs never crash. My programs never not work. I don't even have anti-virus software and I have never been threatened by any virus nor will I ever be threatened by any virus.
