Hey so on my desktop My computer is being taken over. Right now i disconnected the internet and i am trying to back up all my data. I dont know what to do because its taking over everything. I downloaded a active x something today and then it just started going off after i restarted.
ALL these adware pop ups started coming up trying to save my computer but then it took over my background on my desktop and its freaking me out. I dunno what to do cause there might be a worm on my computer so i dont want to restart. the only thing i can redo is backup just incase i have to restart my whole thing over. please help what should i do. at this point i just took off my ethernet cable |

Go.. and.. GET NEW COMPUTER WITH BETTER PROTECTION!!
I was actually stupid enough to download a fake Video Encoder a website said I needed to view a video. At this point, I recommend you download spybot, to scan, and delete the spyware, use ad-aware as well. You should also try to download the full aol security system, its free, and works pefectly. If all else fails, I recommend you go out to your nearest store, and buy software that will rid you of the trojans/virus/spyware. Ect. And if NONE of that works, GET A NEW COMPUTER! The news macs and vistas have a topnotch security system  Ad-aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Spybot http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest....html?tag=lst-1 |
