I want my computer to die...

[DuckLover179]

I was using my computer to get on byc. Something pops up, and starts doing a scan. Then it says "Your computer has a virus, to protect it buy our full version" AKA: spend $50 so I can uninstall this stupid thing. I think it's AntiVirus. Anyway I now have to use a different computer until they reply to my message. It won't even let me use the internet because "That site is no longer safe". And when I go to uninstall it, and I bring up "Security center", it automatically closes! I am so frusterated!

Sorry for complaining, it was this or hit my computer with a baseball bat...

In my experience the "antivirus" that pops up is actually the virus itself. It has already shut down whatever legitimate antivirus you are using and is pretty much ravaging your computer. I have had tremendous luck with Malware Bytes getting rid of viruses for my family. A good site for instruction on how to use it is bleepingcomputer.com. Good luck!!

Yea, that is a spamware virus. Do a virus scan with a legit program like Avast to try and locate and eliminate it, or at least quarantine if it can't outright delete it.

Yep, you have a fake anti virus, virus....

Usually time to reformat an reinstall.

Yep, try malwarebytes antimalware. That has worked wonders for me every time I have used it.

Boot your computer up in "safe mode" with networking. This will allow you to access the internet and download malware bites. run that a couple times you should be clean.
