I was just downloading add-ons when anti-virus came up. It said I had a KL trojan on my computer (Key Logger). It takes screenshots of your computer and keyboard typing. Well my dad's friend Patrick took A look at my computer and said it had to be compleatly erased! D:, Well Patrick tracked the source down And said that Anti-virus GAVE the trojan to us so we would buy it! Not my best day...
P.S i'm typing this on my DSi for the people that will ask. (sorry! wrong section!)

Hidden? As in rootkit? I'm not a "pro" and even those don't take me more than 30 seconds to be rid of.

This trojan keeps you from clicking your mouse so you cant deleate it

Does this Patrick have a job where he works with computers? If not he is not a pro. Pro stands for professional, professional basically means that you get paid to do something. I would only trust a true professional to handle a computer of mine, or someone with experience and previously worked professionally.

Safe mode, no drivers, no mouse software, problem solved.

I didn't think anyone actually fell for those...
The antivirus didn't give you a Trojan, it IS the Trojan.
