VIRUS

I'm assuming people who've seen these screen are using Internet Explorer as their browser and not Firefox, or has anyone using Firefox seen them too?

Oh and please, everyone use some sort of virus protection - even if it is avast or avg which are both free to home users.

I had it on Chrome if that in any way answers your question.

I have all the Norton package and mine looks fine, in fact since I have had Norton I've never really had a problem with it in over 4 years.

Have chrome too, just running Nod 32 now and have already checked for spyware.

As a purchased option, what would you recommend Boshster?

Does the thing that popups have a name?

Would make it easier to tell which variant it is and tell you how to get rid of it.

Security Centre or something.

Its not allowing me to open much, even stuff like Control Panel.

Using Firefox.

I cant..i click to download. It downloads, then when you go to run it, just nothing happens and cant run it.

try renaming the mbab-setup.exe file to something else, to fool the malware into thinking it isnt malware bytes

My Great Grandma is better at using computers than ChipRich.

She gives better head too.

I'm no expert in this area - so Laz can probably advise you more than I can.

Restarted comp, and my Desktop Icons didnt appear, didnt no how to. And this thing that popped up before insta pops up when laptop restarts.

So restarted again.. same again.

So i have gone to install AVG thing monda reccommened and i cant 'run' it.

Help!

press f8 when rebooting your machine, until a text menu comes up. choose 'start with last known good configuration' and try to get it running from there.

if that doesnt work, you can try starting in safe more, also available from the same menu,

Did this,
In Safe Mode, your not/cant connect to internet.

In 'last known good config' it wont let me open anything or run the anti virus prog once downloaded, to install.

Have you tried to boot up in 'Safe Mode' and run a system restore?

Or get someone else to download it on their computer and use a USB stick or CD to transfer it onto your computer.  Just make sure you don't put anything on the USB drive that will affect another computer when it's used in the future.
