This JUST happend to me... Thank god it's resolved!!!
This is a very scary PC story (TO ME)
When I booted up my computer... I went on the internet (Like Usual) on
google, and looked up stuff. When I went to a website of the serch engine...
BAM!! PC infected... Then I wanted to get out of there... So I clicked the
"X" in the top windows corrner. I wont work!! I did CTRL+ALT+DEL, and the
infection disabled it... What luck! Windows expoloer.exe finaly cached, from
the CPU charge... and explorer,exe came up again.... but now it's fishy
looking... now all of these pop-ups came up!!! Now I did a emergency shutdown
(Wich I call "Pull the power cord out of the wall!!!") I rebooted... logged
into a diffrent user... and now I was in for it... The screen went black...
with a warning message saying "Microsoft Windows has a viral infection, and
will now shutdown." I was freaked out!!! Never in my life have I seen this
before. I faced the fact the PC was dead... but then I rememberd... I have a
Dual-Booting windows millenium edition partition. I logged in to that (They
are TWO COMPLEATELY DIFFERENT file systems, FAT32, and NTFS) and it's very
sluggish, but I never got any errors... so that made my day. I went on the
internet, and looked up these symptoms... andI have alot of infections... but
I didn't know that I had over 100 viruses on that partition. I found out if I
boot in to Safe Mode with Networking, I can go on the net to Micro trends
Housecall, and It will kill the infections... but durring the proccess...
FAKE windows security center windows came up saying that there is a virus...
and It will kill it. Obveousely, I exited out IMMEDIATLY, and the scan
stoped... it fixed evreything... but noy really. Screw that plan... The next
thing I'll do is download Avast! Pro edition... and I did. I ran the scan...
and it needed to restart because of viruses in operating memory, and wanted
to do a scan in the boot proccess... when the virus was inactive. it stoped
the scan successfully, reporting that 122 viruses was on the pc... 23
trojans... at least 200+ spyware, and malware issues, and 64 damaged system
files... dogonit!!! but wait... IT REMOVED ALL THE INFECTIONS, AND FIXED ALL
OF THE DATA ERRORS!!! THANKS AVAST!!!! But wait... one more piece of
buissness to take care of... DISCONNECT THE INTERNET CABLE, for a percaution.
This Windows XP SP1 system, survived all of this thanks to avast!
"I recumend Avast Pro edition 4 for being good quality, next to Norton
Antivirus, and McAffe Anti virus"
*** NOTE TO MICROSOFT" MAKE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEMS MORE SECURE... LIKE
APPLE'S DO! YOU ALMOST COST MY FAMILY $1,000 OF CASH TO FIX, AND GET A NEW
COMPUTER, IF NECCECASRY!!! ONCE AGAIN, THANKS AVAST***
