microsoft has a free anti-virus. you can download from their site.

I can't even use that computer to goto any site.. do you know what's the file call? So I can use my other computer to download it and copy it to that computer.

Thanks

I also got this one, on all three computers in the house. Sorry to say, but nothing worked but a fresh install, after reformatting the HD.

if your pc is already infected, the chances r slim installing anything now will clean and/or remove all infections. Most software r for preventive purpose. Since the virus/malware probably has mess with your registry, your best bet is to do a system restore from safe mode and revert the system back to a previous date when the pc wasn't infected.

This one's easy to get rid of but you have to jump through some hoops.

Boot into safe mode with no network support.

Do NOT go into safe mode, but Restore from a System Restore Point from a date before this thing showed up. THis will let you boot without it being in your face and interfering with things.

Download and run Malwarebytes. It's free and it'll clean this.
