one time, when i was surfing the internet, a window prompt me that i have viruses on my pc that need to be repaired and it asked me to download the "personal antivirus". I accidentally downloaded it and i had learned that this "personal antivirus" is the virus itself. I cannot remove it from my pc. Now i tried to do the PC recovery on my compaq computer. Im using windows xp. I hit the F10 button to start up then i did the pc recovery that can uninstall all saved and installed programs on my computer.Now, i am using the computer now like new, i re-installed the internet,printer,office,etc. I did not see the Personal Antivirus anymore. Am I already safe from that virus? Was the pc recovery i did effective? or do you think the virus is still there? im scared now.
my second question is:
while im using my computer, it suddenly turned off and on then
a window prompt me and said this:
"VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerated as it was no longer responding to graphics driver command"
send error report
>>what does it mean? Is this related about the virus that i encountered before?
