Attention computer geeks

[DallasFanatic]

When I launch my Internet Explorer it should launch to ESPN, however it gets interupted and goes to a internet security homepage. It tries to tell me I have a computer virus and to buy their product. I think its bullshit but how do I clean my computer so it doesn't do this?

Any info is appreciated, and all jackasses need not reply.

TIA

Update your antivirus, update any adware removal prograns like adAware, Spybot & Spywareblaster.

Download and install CCleaner (google it)

Using F8 at computer boot choose the option to boot your machine into Safe Mode

Run CCleaner, Run a full antivirus scan (All Drives) includeing ALL Files.

Run a full scan using all your Adware Removal Programs.

Alco use the Run Command MSCONFIG and see take a look at your Startup info...


BTW- You owe me a 12 pack...

You're suffering from a Trojan.

Prevex can fix it up for you. Install a trial version, and let it do the job.

I try to boot into safe mode but it won't let me log in. I am not connected to my network, but it usually requires me to log in anyways. However now, it won't in safe mode.

Any suggestions?

And a 36 pack is being sent your way

[DallasFanatic]

Thanks to the both of you. Looks like the combo of your suggestions has worked.

Can't we just ban Meds instead?

Too costly. The ensuing carnage would jack up PrimeX's KY costs.

Use this. It works.
