My computer has a virus! And stupidly, when my computer got fixed last time, I forgot to re-install an anti-virus program. I can't even install one now because the virus is making it impossible. I have two options. One, get it fixed AGAIN and live with this junk. Or two, don't be cheap for once and get a brand new computer. I hope I can convince my dad to do the second option. I'm typing on my bro's computer. But I can't be on it much so I won't be on alot. Maybe not at all for awhile. So just a heads up.

I got a quick fix for ya, reformat. If you have things on there that you can't get again then fix it otherwise reformat will get rid of the virus.

Good Idea people, buy a new computer and get that one infected at the same time. If you can't learn to keep this computer safe, than you can't keep the new one safe. I don't have any virus protection on my computer, and I have never got a virus. That's not to say I don't protect my computer, I got my ways, which I won't go here. Every Virus protection software sucks, you got to be smart yourself. Don't go to dumb websites, stop looking at "Porn", don't open e-mails that you have No Idea what they are. If you get a new computer, you will have the same problem, if your not smart. Don't take it to a repair shop, they over charge for what the do. Get your windows CD, and reinstall windows, after you back up your important stuff, but be carfule because the virus could be infecting what you want to back up. So when you wipe your computer, and reinstall windows, you would be putting the virus right back on. So the best thing to do, is to wipe your computer YOURSELF, and update it. Before you do your wipe, go to the computers website, and make sure you have all the Drivers that you need. Sound card driver, GPU driver, Chipsets, network driver, the works. Should be on a CD your computer came with, if not just download them, and burn them to a disk than Reformat you computer and install windows. Than I suggest get Ad-ware pro, which will help with stoping alot of spyware, which leads to viruses. Good luck!!
