Ok, so, last night while I was looking around for fleur de lis on phototbucket (who dat?!) and something for java came up and I ran it thinking it was just something with this girl's background----I was WRONG! It was this BankerFox.A thing. When it popped up, I could tell it was a fake and just kept pushing no and I did not download anything from there.
It will let me access the internet but, will only let me run various programs. It's like it knows I'm trying to get rid of it so won't let me run anything that could do it.
I started reading up on it and tried the various easy solutions, I'm pretty good with computers but, when you start talking about codes & stuff, it's over my head. Like, I have no idea what a HijackThis log or whatever is. I have installed and ran: SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ATG, & SmitFraudFix to no avail. Yes, I have followed the directions very carefully and it still did not work. I've tried to run my AVG but, all it gives me is a prompt screen to do it in Safe Mode and takes forever.
I have to restart into safe mode and works. I can continue to do my work in safe mode but, I don't want my laptop to be in safe mode for the rest of it's life.
Can someone PLEASE help?
