Have you run a virus scan? Or is it one of those programs that state you have a virus and want you to purchase their product? You might want to try to do a system restore and see if that'll work.
Otherwise, I have no more suggestions. :cry:
Good Luck!!

So if it were me, I would first follow the previous advice and scan my pc in safe mode before I click on the "buy this" thing.
I also use AVG because it was recommended by a Geek at BestBuy.
I hope your husband's surgery goes smoothly and also good luck with your pc.

I heard the same thingon Clark Howard, I think it might be called something like Malware? They put the ad on your computor, and it is **ll to get it off. They do want you to buy there protection, but I guess sometimes that doesnt even work! Hope your Hubby is doing okay!

I had a virus get on my computer a few days ago. I could not run any malware or anti-virus software. The virus wanted me to buy "protection" from viruses. I couldn't even open Firefox or Explorer.
DD's boyfriend loves computers and he came over to look at it. He used DD's laptop to look up the virus. He found a removal tool for it. Put it on a jump drive and then downloaded it onto my computer. It worked! I was so tickled. :mrgreen: He said that it was a new virus and was rated up there as a bad one to get. I hope you can get it off yours!
