ok, I wasn't doing anything unusual when i t struck, so it must have been hiding in my computer for some time. Whenever I try to open any program such as ;word, flock, internet explorer, any anti virus, of the system restore, anything in general will not work, though my computer still runs, I can navigate to wear the programs are, just not open them, so I have no idea what to do about this, it's on a netbook, so there is no disk drive I can instal anything with, not that it would run, and also there is a very phony "antivirus software alert" that is obviously part of the virus it's self, now, whenever I try to start a program I get a security warning that say " application cannot be executed. The "insert program here" is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus sofyware yes or no. wwhen I click yes or one of the fake antivirus alerts internet explorer opens to the fake antiviruses page "antivirus soft" the only thing I haven't tried is restatting my computer (in general or safe mode) because I am afraid that I will get the system alert for critical system processes. Luckily I have a phone with a full internet browser and found this site, pleeeeease heeeelp!!! :-(
