Last night I was doping around in the net and I think I picked up something nasty. Recently whenever my computer starts up it'll give me one or two error messages about how a few files cannot be found, since I was numb to what this meant, I simply blew it off. However, last night, I got sucked smack-dab into the middle of pop-up *censored*.
I ran my scanners (McAfee and the like) and on a full scan it says I have only one file that's known to be infected, which I think is the root cause for all the trouble I'm having. On another note, whenever I stay on the computer for an extended period of time, a strange program for 'Virus Scans' will pop up, prompting me to purchase a full version for complete protection. That's in all honesty a little sketchy to me, so I thought that it could also be a part of the problem considering I never saw the *censored* thing before.
I'm just a little bewildered, and the information on this sight helped me fix my hunk of junk previously. Any information on how to get started cleaning this mess up would be highly appreciated; if you need a more detailed description I'm also able to provide that for you. Thanks!
