Got me a doozy of a virus.

Just do a system restore to a date before you got the virus

Wait on that. You need to prepare for a system restore or it will mess with you for a year. check with your security company first.

My poor old Acer hard drive crashed 3 days ago, could handle all the 40DD boobs in the storage file.

I noticed this two days ago. When I click the "post" button on this forum to post a reply, sometimes another page pops up that says my flash player is out of date and needs to be upgraded. So I clicked it and now I got the virus. It takes me to a page that says my windows 10 license is corrupted and to click this link, which I did not click, and it also gives a phone number to call for immediate assistance. So I said what the hell and called it. Some heavily accented Pakistani or something kind of guy answers and wants addresses and links and id's and stuff so I told him a bad word and hung up. Then sometimes the virus takes me to what looks like a porn site where I have a message from debbie or some other name that i don't click on it, but the page will not close so I have to use task mgr to kill it. So far it comes up several times a day. So it looked like my system Mechanic that I bought is not working. I didn't like it anyway since it wont install correctly and their tech help cannot be understood by me.

So I go to WalMart and look at the virus stuff they have and bought Kaspersky anti virus for 29 dollars. I downloaded it and I still have the virus after running the new software. So I went to their website and made a report about it and they reply with a solution that unfortunately does not help. I have adjusted the software to the highest level of detection and still it can't find this crap. So I thought i would search the internet for some free thing or trial and see if it would help. I found and downloaded and installed a trial version of Malwarebytes and it found twenty infections with hijacking crap that is causing my problem.

This trial software got it all and is intercepting the hijacking attempts regularly, up until a few hours ago, when it's back. So know I am running another Kaspersky super deep deep deep scan to see what ti finds and then if it fails, I think i will delete it and buy the Malwaresbytes super dooper virus killer and hope like hell it works.

I'm sort of disappointed with the product support these days. My phone (Sprint) won't work right and no one can fix it and then most of the time you can't even talk to anyone, just machines or people who don't have a mastery of English.

Well that's all for now. I'll reply if i ever get rid of it.

For future reference, next time an update browser, update flash, update adobe, update any software pops up never update from the pop up always go directly to the known web site for updates comparing the version number or use your browsers or softwares own update button.
