HUGE PROBLEM!!! (caps)

Alright earlier, I was on the internet, and I got a pop up, it told me to update my videoActive X (I later realized it mus have been from a specific website...) or something so I was like yea sure whatever, I'll get that over with so it doesn't bug me in the future, turns out it unleashed hell on my computer...spyware, malware, trojan etc. I have a number of new options to get rid of this problem but I haven't clicked any because I am almost certain all of those options are provided by the host/virus...Please help me...FYI I was not on any illegal/porn websites. I was searching pictures formybackground...

Worst comes to worst, you can always do a system restore, which is the process of restoring your system to the way it was at an earlier date. That should take care of any Virus, Spyware, etc. you may have installed/downloaded.firefly026

if its as bad as you say it is, just restore which should get rid of all the problems.

Are you ****** serious? What about all my ****? There is no other way to get rid of this? Don't you need a disc for system restore?ArabAl

Wait, so if the checkpoint is after files that have been downloaded they won't be deleted?

Some viruses,spyware get into the system restore and reloads the stuff again no matter what date. This is what you do

1. disable system restore through control/system/system restore.

2. Scan your harddrive with a virus scanner and a spyware remover. Good free scanners are AVG virus scanner, found here http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/ For a good freespyware remover is Ad-aware 2007,found here http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ .

3. after the full scan on all hardriveswith both scanners and has removed all the stuff. restart the computer then rescan, and if nothing comes up and after you test it,you should be fine. then reable system restore.

I hope this helps you out.
