Okay, honestly, I don't know what the fuck is happening to my computer, but I think it's screwed... big time.
Last night, it said I got some random virus, and then some things that I didn't even PUT on the friggin' machine were installed. I successfully installed them, but there are more matters.
First thing I encounter. The folders in the Program Files list were still there that was unnecessary. I tried to delete one of them... no success. It says that it's being used or something...? I try to delete it again. No luck at all. That one small 2 KB file was undeletable right there. I just hope I can delete it soon.
Second thing was this pop-up, saying that there was this PestScan program. I gave it a quick scan, finding nothing but over 80 threats on my computer... Wonderful... I tried to delete them, but the fact that you had to buy the fuckin' thing turned me off really bad. Not to mention... I'm getting more pop-ups, them advertising me to download their damn crap.
I'm just worried of losing the computer. It's not for my entertainment... but it's for my friends. I don't want to have to lose my hundred or so friends (at least that's what I'm imagining.) because of this... I'm really worried sick, because either one of two things will happen, or maybe more. First is that my computer might be so out of condition that it could shut off. Who knows. Or my dad might discover this and ban me from the computer. Either way, I know I'm going to be yelled at by him, and who knows how long until I'll be able to go on the comp. This just happened last night, almost at 2 AM, so I might have time.
I'm in the process of doing more scans with some of the stuff I had. I just hope everything goes well.

D:
I hope so as well, but if you disappear, I'll assume it's from this and tell all of your friends on MS and Gaia that you were kidnapped and raped by Fappy ;D Jokes. But I'll tell 'em.
Anyways, I dunno. If it all comes to worse, go to download.com and get SpyBot. It's the easiest Virus scan-program-thinger that I've found.
But good luck! I pray things go well!

I'll try out the SpyBot thing perhaps. But I don't know I had just finished my virus and spyware scans, but only three trojans were deleted in total. I'm going to tell my father about this myself, so don't expect much activity at all from 6:00 PM tonight. I just really want to cry now I don't even see why viruses even have to exist... >_<

Well I think things have calmed down a bit, as well as I. I just did SpyBot, and everything SEEMS to be running smoothly. I just hope things are like the way they were before. I'm still getting occasional pop-ups, though =/

Well... SpyBot isn't a virus scanner. It's a scanner for, well... spyware, mostly. Don't you have an up-to-date virus scanner on that computer? o.O; Also, go try Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Maybe that'll find something, if it isn't an actual virus.

I do have a decent AntiVirus, known as VirusScan, and I did a scan on that. However, it said that there was nothing. I did another SpyBot Scan, deleting some more things. Even better... no pop-ups... yet. Everything's fine maybe...?
EDIT: Meh, nevermind... I got a pop-up -_- I'm running yet another scan on SpyBot though.

I guess it's still getting a little better, but a little worst too. Pop-ups are still appearing, but now pornography is appearing as pop-ups. Wtf... This is really messed up... I just let my father know via e-mail, so I might get a reply soon, or he could call me.

Sorry, this is what I hate about the internet, things I say sound like I'd be yelling them, but to tell you the truth I don't yell very often and when I do the deserved it. Normally get really angry with someone maybe twice a year.

Well... if you're going to argue, take it to another topic, please >_>
Anyway, I might be back, I might not. I'm not sure. My father just looked at this last night, and he could have fixed it. But if he tells me that I see any Spyware problems, then I have to get off. I hope nothing happens.
EDIT: Just got a pop-up. I'll be back sometime soon. But I know I'm gone for another complete day. Back to PSO for me!
*is currently training a level 4 Viridia HUnewearl named Infieri >_>;; * So what...? Sue me! >=O

Back, yet again! ... Or so I hope >_> So far no pop-ups, and my dad looked at it more, so I'm hoping everything's restored to its normal state.
And yes, I made a character named Infieri XDDD I'll post pictures if you want >o>
