Seriously, I'm about to cry. I keep getting all of these "System Alerts" and on my taskbar, it says VIRUS ALERT! in all caps. I can't go into my control panel or go to "programs" in the "start" menu, because the "programs" button is gone. I'm so scared. I don't know what to do. I'm running AVG and Spy Sweeper right now. I might do Norton as well. What will happen to my computer? I can't lose all my data! My background on my computer is also gone, it's just white. Should I run my computer in "safe mode"? Please I really need all the help I can get. I can't believe this is happening. And I did not want to deal with this at 1:30 in the morning!

  1. go to msn.com and get windows care one for free.


  2. Go into safe mode and turn off sys restore, then perform AVG scan.

  3. i would recomend starting the computer in safe mode then going to the add or remove programs and look for fake virus checkers or programs that look fishy if nothing run a full scan with AVG

  4. i think you have a trojan. i had one once and what you do is download smithfruadfix (its free but it actualy works) and u go to safemode. do what it tells you to do and restart then its all better
