I agree with QKO! But make sure you download it BEFORE you have a problem, because most times, the virus will prevent you from getting the download. I've you've already got the virus, and you have two computers, you can download the program on the uninfected PC and use a thumb drive to transfer the needed files over to the infected PC. I did this for somebody this past weekend and have the link at home that gives all the information. Send me a message if I can help you further.

Yes. I also got it. I did a complete scan of my computer immediately using Norton. Supposedly everything harmful was removed. Took awhile to do the full scan but I just got this computer & didn't want to take any chances.

Might want to clean out the temp file on your computer also. Had this pop up from another site the other day and nothing would fix it. Couldn't get onto any other sites online either. Ran Norton and that didn't fix it. Finally cleaned out the temp file and problem solved.
Thanks for posting this tip. I have had a crazy pop up, too. Had two unrecognizable temp files (that were just 2 days old) so deleted them.

I also got the nasty virus, since i did not know enough of the do it your self stuff,Had to send it to the repair shop. Lost a lot of files, was expenesive to fix and now I'm trying to get things back to normal. I had mcafee security on it but that did not stop it. Hope I never have to deal with that again and neither do any of you.
