    Hey,
    If you are in safe mode w/ networking, get online and download a program called Malwarebytes and install it. If it installs, let it update itself & do a full scan. It works most of the time for me. Good program!

    I use AVG. It's a free Anti-Virus program and has done me good for 3 years now.


    If you can download the Malwarebytes program, get it. It's a very strong program that kills viruses too. Good Luck!

It was the kind saying it was "windows virus" my cousin didnt know and clicked on it! So I have no clue..im so computer stupid! Im in safe mode networking now. Saw tried to help me today but like he said hard to do when he is 500+miles away! Do any of you know how i can get it to download?

    Mcaffee sucks ass, jsut get rid of it even when it's fixed. use another computer to download the avg install file onto a flash drive. Go to filehippo and egt the actual install program though the downlaod from their website is just a program to downlaod it.

    Yeah I've used this one a few times though and it was ok. It's listed as an alternate DL link on avgs website.

    Just use the free version from their website. That's what I've had for 3 years and never payed for the full version.

    if you have a flash/thumb/usb drive... take it to a known good pc.. and download the installation files to there.

    Then take it and put it on your pc.

    Also, have you tried a "system restore" ?
