I have a VIRUS!


All I did the other day was go to a website trying to find a graphic for myspace for someone's birthday and BAM!! I now have a virus! I have deleted programs, I have ran spyware and virus protection thingees, I have changed settings to high security and what not. The only thing left that I know to do is wipe my computer out and redo over. I hate to lose all the pictures that I have on there though. What has messed up is that when I turn my computer on, it is extremely slow and everything is fine unless I get on the Internet. Then, I have a zillion pop ups and they will not quit. My pop up blocker is on and everything. I don't know what else to do, so someone, anyone, I need suggestions!!

Is there a Best Buy up in PB? You could take it up there to the computer geeks and they will fix it for you - for a price. But if your pictures and files are worth it they are worth it. That's the only suggestion I really know. I hope you figure out what to do soon!

i checked with the geek squad online and it is $200 to do in store removal or $100 for instructions over the phone. i will have to save for a bit for that one. ; ]

Yeah I knew they were pretty expensive - sometimes it's almost cheaper to buy a new computer and just get your files off the old one - that is what we ended up doing! It's funny - 10 years ago or 15 we never thought how much we would rely on computers and the internet!!!
