Hi everyone, Today I turned on computer today and I believe I have a virus. This suddenly came up on my desktop and it's rather worrying

Also, I have had messages come up saying someone is trying to hack my computer, and other one's saying that my computer is infected with sypware and malware.

What am I to do?

Try use the very tool that "Best Buy Geek Squad" & others uses to remove "Your privacy is in danger" desktop hijacker - with Adware Away.

BTW I don't know if Adaware Away is really that good or free.

On second thought I would forget about adawareaway.net and go to Castlecops. They are now dealing with the very same issue according to this thread

BTW we don't do HJT log analysis here. Your best shot is Castlecop.
