Hello! My sister accidentally let what I believe to be a virus into my computer by clicking on false advertisements. I'm not sure what kind of virus it is or how to get rid of it, but here are the symptoms: *It renamed my computer to '693' *I cannot use my system restore *I am getting tons of porn pop-ups and links that are terribly hard to get rid of *And it drastically slowed my computer down
