I need your help.
I was working on adding some obstacles to my race server and listening to music on youtube on internet explorer
Then, out of nowhere, the browser closed, all by itself. I figured it was some accidental thing that I did, so I opened my browser. Then this little window popped up, and it said that my browser was infected with "Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keykigger.gen"
It said that "credit card details and passwords" could be stolen. It had more junk, but that was just the important part.
There were 2 options.
"Yes, activate Win 7 Internet Security 2012 (recommended)
"No, Continue unprotected"
I clicked no, then my browser opened.
It read "Internet Explorer alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!"
Once again, there were more options. By this time I was pretty sure it was a virus, because I read this
"Things you can do:
Get a copy of 'Win 7 Internet Security 2012' to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)
Run a spyware, virus, and malware scan
Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)"
I clicked that one ^ but it took me right back to the page
I typed a link in the URL bar, hit enter, and it took me right back to the page
So my internet is broken. I tried going on Chrome, but the same thing happened.
I'm pretty positive that this is a virus, so I'm running a scan. Also, if you're wondering, my anti-virus expired, so I think that's how I got this, but I'm scanning it with something else my current anti-virus, it allows you to scan even when you're expired.. I'm typing this on my dad's laptop.
My dad will be here in two hours, so hopefully I can ask him for help.
Also any help from you guys would help too
:(
edit: scan complete, found 5 files + 3 moved to chest, 2 deleted (would let me move to chest)
rebooting
another edit: it has to scan all the files before it allows windows to start, aww, more waiting.
