I think it was the Internet Security 2010 virus i picked up. I got it from piratebay. I have AVG 9.0 virus protection. I accidently hit yes and the virus started downloading to my computer. I got it stopped halfway through the b.s. it does. I have a windows defender program on my computer. I started that program after i got the virus. It picked it up and deleted it, but i was in a hurry and i thought that was it and i stopped the scan short. I don't know if it would have gotten the whole thing or not? I looked all day yesterday for info on this virus and now i don't know what else i can do. I can't restore to an older date. It only restores to the previous day. Ive tried searching for the files in folders but haven't seen anything. I can get to task manager but i do not see the virus running in processes. Luckily i can get on my internet, i can download programs but i cannot open them. I cannot open any exe. files. My AVG wouldn't open, but i managed to scan a file on my computer and it opened the program. I am running a scan now but i don't think it's gonna pick anything up. I can get into safe mode but i still can't open any exe. programs (files) there. When i try to open something i get the message what program do you want to open this with. I think that is about it, i run on windows XP. Any advice would be great. Thanks Kenny
