ahh WTF !?


Question Posted Sunday April 20 2008, 12:58 am

ook so. my computer has been fine. but today i got on here and every so often like 3 pop up websites saying my computer could have spyware and blah blah would come up but its those advertisment kind that want you to buy the product. also my desktop background is changed to say the same thing. i went to control panel & the programs and deleted anything that looked unusual. but if its a virus i dont know how i got it bc the only websites i use are myspace, advicenators, and then like shopping/school stuff and im the only one thats uses this computer. also music on myspace/itunes wont play anymore and neither will videos. it says its playing but it just sits and 0:00. WTF is going on !? it's only been doing this since this morning and i dont really have the money to get this computer wiped out/fixed !

i have this same problem and your best bet is to get a spyware product even though you said you don't have the money. but if you can manually wipe out your computer so its restored back to brand new. i'm not positive how to do it with most computers but i have a dell and when i want to completely wipe everything out, when i restart my computer, you wait for the screen with the blue loading bar and you continuously hit ctrl + F11 until an unusal screen comes up asking if you want to restart or restore and you want restore. and then you just follow the simple instructions to reset everything back up. good luck!
