VIRUS ALERT! is next to the clock/date tray and
the time is military. It has disabled my Task Manager, access to my C: drive through explorer (though I can still access it through the address bar.)

If someone knows of a way to rid of the Virus and restore order to my PC that would be frickin awesome!!
