I got a real bad virus this year by clicking on a picture link. It was the day after new years.
I clicked on a photo bucket picture and boom Norton popped up saying virus saying unsafe site. I clicked off it and shut off the internet and all of a sudden I got a pop up saying internet security 2010 wants you to scan your computer. I was .........I don't have internet security 2010 Looked on my desktop and a new icon was there.
I clicked off this thing and it kept popping up scan your computer now virus and trojans have been identified on your system.
I shut my computer off and turned it back on and my screen was bright green with red alert across the page SCAN NOW!!!
I tried everything.......it would not let me access the internet saying that I had to scan first and I did not want to scan with that program not knowing what viruses it would download.
Sadly to say I had to do a whole system swipe.
I HATE VIRUSES!!!!
I hope you can fix your computer I know how frustrating it is.
