Got crappy windows vista and it won't let me back up restore. Everytime I try to or go on the Internet it comes up 'This file is infected' or similar is there a way round it? What else can I do?

Got AVG and won't let me open that either, any ideas?

Cheers

 

What you've done wrong there Nige is buy a PC!

 

Does there pop up a window that says buy some kind of antivirus software?

 

Oh right, cheers Dan seen where I've gone wrong now!

Oh by the way, meant to tell you in the office the other day; Fuck off.

lolllol

 

Yes meant to mention that, says I should buy antivir?

 

Just some kind of scam.

Got that kind of virus last week.

Every program I tried to start wont work, and the pc says file infected and some popup windows opens that says buy some kind of antivir.

This ended in format my pc

 

Hmmm formatting seems a bit annoying!

 

Boot the PC up in safe mode (when it's booting up press F8) Choose safe mode with networking, Download spybot search and destroy, it should find the virus and that should do the trick, well it sorted mine anyway!
It also changes internet explorer to connect through a proxy server, to get rid of this go to IE properties click the connection tab, LAN settings the untick the box!

 

sounds like you have the virus that pretends to be a anti virus program
you get it when you get what seems like a windows warning window saying you are not protected ect

there are removal tools available on line

stat wise its commenly found on gay porn websites you have a confession to make ?

 

my sis in-law had this you need to download malware bytes and run it,

 

malware or spybot s&d will sort it.

I had a virus the other week that absolutely fubared my pc, now im quite good with pc's and stuff, but after spending about a day trying to sort it i decided it was time for a format, at least it cleaned all the crap offf my pc and now is quicker because of it.
