Do as Allan said and you will have to wait for a Malware Removal Specialist to help.

You are typing zero instead of the letter o

LOL!! My laptop is not allowing me to type on the O key so I was using the zero instead.

I am in the process of following the steps I was told to complete because I was able to get onto my PC with the virus. Hopefully I can solve it before I am not able to log-on any more.
