you bought a virus essentially, happens all the time. if something pops up saying "buy this", NEVER do it.

can you boot in safemode at all? do you have a second partition (my guess is no) that you can log into and access the virus from a different drive?

so get in there, and just start deleting anything and everything associated with that program

uninstall it first of all, or bring it to someone who can go through afterwards and delete the rest of the trackers and whatnot

What it did was edit deep into your root. What you need to to do is open up your C drive and find it and delete it. its probably called system32.

Good luck!

yeah well you're gonna have to do that and then delete the stuff you downloaded or get anything you want and wipe the drive,

i still can't believe you downloaded that haha. YOU DIDN'T GIVE THEM ANY CREDIT CARD INFO DID YOU?

Delete system 32 or run a magnet across the hard drive.
