My computer just got a virus and I'm not super 1337 h4x and don't know much about removing viruses. I went to a maliscious website and it infected my computer with a fake anitvirus that closes all other anti virus programs. I cannot ctrl+alt+delete either. Anyone that is willing to help me through this I will be glad to send a couple bucks your way on paypal. Also, it will not allow me to get into my system restore.
If you know when you got the virus. Not exactly "know where you got it" but like a week ago? Delete everything from like a week or two of downloads.
So if I get it right, you can access all your files and even the internet? But when you type "System Restore" into the "Start" menu it doesn't come up?
Fix: Hard Shut down (close everything, then hold the power down on your pc till it turns off) then turn it on and go to safe mode. Then go to the date you want to, Read the prompts and then boot as normal and your problems should be fixed. -Capito
I am glad you got your computer fixed. If you experience any more problems, please post another thread and I will help you within 24 hours
