Your computer is infected with a virus.
i guessed that much....how do i get rid of it?
What do you have for an antivirus? Boot into safe mode with networking and make sure it is up to date. Then run a scan. Post back with results.
~winipcfgASCII question, get an ANSI
Boot into safe mode, disable your anti-virus, disable UAC, reboot to safe mode, run rkill, run tdsskiller, reboot to safe mode, run combofix, reboot to normal mode, run superantispyware, run malwarebytes, run a good antivirus, disable your antivirus, open your run box type combofix /uninstall, re-enable your antivirus, turn on UAC. Open your run box type SFC /Scannow, open your run box type CMD, type chkdsk C: /f, reboot Now update everything, windows, reader, office, flash, java, etc....
Done
i don't suppose anybody can connect to my computer remotely can they?]
There are remote repair services, but I wouldn't use them http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WS...
Do you have a good computer repair shop around you? You could pay them to fix it.
or
Would you be comfortable backing up your data and restoring your computer? We could walk you through that.
i would restore it but i don't have the restore disc
okay i think i found out where the virus is but how do i delete it?
