Hi,

I am new here but need help. I think I got a virus for a rogue virus in an advertisement on a blog. Ugh!

Anyway, I am working in Firefox, but Explorer keeps opening up and an error message keeps popping up saying Application cannot be executed. The file wuauclt.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?

I noticed I shouldn't follow the directions for others, but need to get specific instructions for my computer, so I wanted to post here for help.

Pop ups keep coming up asking me to run an antivirus, but it is NOT my antivirus. I have McAfee, which I cannot even open up and get into.

Any help is appreciated.
