I am hoping that this post will help save my computer. A few days ago, I turned on my computer and discovered that it was being bombarded with fake "antivirus software" popups and "security alerts". I tried to ignore them and use my computer as usual. Before I could figure out what was wrong, this problem starting taking over all of my programs and insisted that my computer was infected.
I rebooted in safe mode with networking. I ran my usual ad-aware and removed files that were flagged. I then downloaded spybot search & destroy and followed all of their instructions. A whole bunch of risks were identified and removed. BUT, none of that seemed to change anything. When I restarted to normal windows, everything was the same if not worse. Internet explorer started opening up to supposed porn sites without any internet connection!
I was given some suggestions for virus removal but now I am unable to connect to the internet when I reboot to safemode with networking. I was told to adjust some settings under internet option in this mode but still no luck. PLEASE HELP!
