Hi, I have a computer that when I turn it on it starts to load but then comes up with the messages. "Peter (something)" "Loading Malware" "Loading Keylogger" Then it comes up with a bunch of numbers and letters and then it turns itself off. Is there anyway i can get onto my computer and getting rid of these viruses. When I could get on my computer I could do pretty mucheverything possible but really slowly because loads of anti virus software popped up randomly saying pay £40 for a scan. I didn't want to pay that amount of money so went to download a free one but couldn't download it because a virus had just got onto the computer. Can anyone help?? Many Thanks Idrolax

Try to boot into safe mode with networking. Restart your computer After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually; Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear; Select Safe Mode with Networking, then press "Enter". Choose your usual account. Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of these sites: MalwareBytes1 MalwareBytes2 1. Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application. 2. Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish. 3. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. 4. Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan. The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient. 5. When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. 6.

It sounds unlikely that you've got an actual virus on there, rather a nasty piece of malware that loads itself in such a way that you'd be convinced to spend the £40 on an anti- virus upgrade. I trust you haven't listened to the pop-ups! It's a scam. Do as mentioned above and download and run Malwarebytes. It's widely recognised as the best for getting rid of these kinds of popups and scaremongering alerts. http://www.pcfixreview.com
