I would recommend running scans in safe mode (mashing F9 when starting your computer) so that the viruses are prevented from starting and preventing the fake programs block scans from legit antivirus programs. --- End quote --- Edit: Oh and if Shad0wyone posts here, only follow his advice if you suck with computers. |

I got off and it shut down, next morning my sister got on, and the background was changed into saying some stuff like "OMG YOU ARE INFECTED TAKE ME TO A SHOP" or something, and there was a taskbar icon that kept popping up saying it was infected... whenever it started up, the antivirus program came up and scanned saying you had like a million viruses. It locked up the computer so you couldn't do anything. |
