Yet Another Compter Problem

[solarbaby614]

I am typing this from my mothers computer as I speak.

I was happily web surfing a long not an hour ago and I ended up with a virus on my computer. Now everytime I start it, after I log in, all it gives me is this Vista Internet Security 2010 thing. That's all. No back ground, no icons, no... whatever that bar at the bottom of the screen is called.

So now I have to go get my computer wiped again. He said it would be about 100 dollars. So I just turned my computer off and am going to leave it alone until I can get the money together. Which will be a while.

Thank god I backed all my stuff up on that external hard drive.

If I may offer some advice - I caught that a few weeks ago, and all I needed to get rid of it was AVG anti-virus and Malwarebytes anti-malware - I'm not sure which one actually got rid of it, as I used both. You can download them both free and transfer them to your computer with a USB stick.

It worked for me, anyway!

Why not just wipe the hard drive yourself? It's so easy it's not even funny. Oh and like anitabuchan said, a flash drive always comes in handy when you have a system so screwed up that it can't connect.
