So I start getting about 10 popups per second(popping up in IE, which I thought I had deleted) so I go to my computer, and I have at least 20 files that are certainly spyware. I'm able to delte al but 2, but the other ones I don't have access to
I restart the computer in safe mode and I delete the files...the I restart regularly and I go back to my computer. When I click on C:\ nothing happens...then I get a "This program is not respoding" message so I close it(which takes 5 minutes for some reason) and he popups kept coming up...when I close everything...I have no icons on my desktop! so I restart again
So I still got the popups so I went to get MS Antispyware, which has been replaced with Windows Defender Beta 2...so I download it, perform a scan(which gets incredibly annoying because everytime it finds something, a diologue box pops up saying it found something, then asks me if I want to restart, even though the scan isn't complete). So by the time the scan is done it found 10+ files which I deleted...then it asks me to restart the computer...so I do, again
So when I restart my computer, I keep getting annoying dialogue boxes from Windows Defender and then I realize, that I can no longer connect the internet, because my connection has "limited or no connectivity"(which is not true, sinci I am typing this from my parents computer which has been able to connect just fine)
So I delete windows defender...but I still can't connect to the internet...and to top it off I spilled Dr. Pepper on my iPod(which is still working ) but it got under the couch where(not to my knowledge) there were some previously dry paper towels(don't ask me how they got there) which ended up covered in hair and all that crap under the couch...
so...
