Possibly won't be on till november =(

[Alysser]

This morning I woke up to find my computer got a virus somehow. I don't feel like spending my entire savings on a new pc and my brother said I could maybe have his old laptop come November. I don't even no for sure if this will happen so it may be longer. My old one is about to crash so yeah. I still have Internet on my iPod so I will browse and post here ad there.

Sorry for any mispellings. This iPod Is a pain in the a$$ to type on.

What kind of virus is it? Maybe you or your brother can do a google search for "type of virus" repair

There are a number of virus fixes available from the internet.

AND install AVG (by Grisoft) on your computer, and allow it to update. It's free, I use it, and it has nailed virus in mid-hatch on my machine! In fact, installing AVG 8.1 might be all you need to do - run a scan right after you download it!

I have no clue. I don't even know how I got it. It added several nice porn icons to my desktop though. I ran a viruscan and then found of costs money to get it to work. I already have McAfee virus software but it wouldn't load. My dad came home and tried to fix it, but nothing would start but he said it was well on its way to crashing. I knew I shouldnt have left it alone while I went to the beach

Can you download AVG at all?

I find McAfee and Norton...well, they cost money, and I think I just pay for the names.

You say you ran a scan. It should have told you what the viruses were. If you want to post the names and numbers - some of the names are weird - I can send you the links to the 'fix' pages.

I can't remember the names since I ran the scan this morning. The infected pc will not do anything & it will not let me on the Internet. I appreciate the help catty but my pc won't do anything....

Do you really think that you need a new computer because yours may crash? Mine crashed several times and it wasn't that costly to get it repaired. If you know a good computer person, it might be worth looking into. When mine crashed, it put so many icons on my desktop that it was ridiculous. I hope you can get it repaired inexpensively. Good luck.

What exactly can your infected computer do? Can it access the internet at all? If so i may be able to fix it. If not, there is always Ubuntu .
