Possibly won't be on till november =(

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 .

Reggie - she said it wouldn't let her on the Internet.

Alyssa - just because the scan said it would cost you money, doesn't mean it will cost you lots. Do you or your friends know someone that is known as a real computer geek? He or she might help you for very little.

You can try borrowing a Norton CD, but I'm not sure what that would do.

I'm sure you don't need another computer. You just gotta get that one cleaned out.

Too bad Reggie lives far away - he'd do it in no time. Maybe he knows someone in your area? You could try a PM to him (a pain on an iPod, I know)

Worst case scinario is it needs an operating system reload. If there is nothing you really care about on it just take the restore disc that came with it or the operating system disc (whatever one you have) stick it in and re-boot. Let it do its thing and wipe the hard drive.

Simple, and its free! Then load a virus scanning program on your computer! (I reccomend AVG as a free option myself)

Make sure you scan the computer before it goes online to do anything but download AVG, as the virus can still be resident on the hard drive after a re-load if its one of the nastier varieties.

Hopefully it didn't destroy your hard drive. If it did though, smaller used hard drives at computer shops only run about 50 cents a gig so you can get one that works decently for about $20-$40, maybe less if your town has a computer recycling center.

I could do it from here, but what i would need to do to get into the computer to nuke the virus is illegal in the US, unless i have permission from the owner of the computer to do it (sort of a long definition of hacking, but in a good way this way). Another option would be to get a Ubuntu cd and run a virus scan from that.
