Its a virus, and a very smart one at that. Its really annoying and wont let you open anything, and blocks all of the things on youre desktop. I tried to start in safe mode but it gets past that too. Anyone else have this before/know how to get rid of it?

Thanks +K

yeah ive had a virus like that, not sure it was the exact same but it sucked cock. I couldnt open any web browsers or any files until i bought their shitty nonsense virus thing. first thing i did was spam the fuck out of their contacts thing by sending hate mail, then i did this:

1. get someone to download malwarebytes on their computer and save to a thumbdrive

2. turn on your computer in safemode and run malwarebytes

3. should get rid of it.

I'm not sure how malicious that one is, but be careful with some. If you keep running that operating system and especially if you try to get rid of it, if could start doing a lot worse. Some programs are great a removing them though. Or it could be a tame one that could just stop in msconfig, but I doubt it.

look up that virus on google and the best way to get rid of it.

first thing in google.

what it is, how it works, and how to get rid of it manually, and what programs are good to get rid of it.
doesn't look like that serious of a virus

they do recommend Malwarebytes too.

Ridiculous

restart your computer, press f10 (safemode boot menu choose safemode with networking) then download and run malewarebytes or if you have a current anti virus run that.

Look in your msconfig and check to see if you see that program in the startup list. Disabling it with your startup services will allow you to get back into your normal desktop to verify that it has been removed.

if you cant get it off pm me and ill go indepth with how to get rid of it.
