Computer infected.. :(

I think my computer at my house is messed up by virus....

The background turned blue. These MS Removal Tool warning is coming up constantly. It looks like an anti-virus program, but I guess not.

Right now, I'm running the V3 Lite trying to get rid of whatever is in there..

Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks..

When i restart my computer, it seems normal. My background is back to normal and all, but after 5 seconds, it turns blue and the same crap all over again.

The MS Removal Tool seems like it's scanning my computer and says it's infected several virus and malware..

It did scan the computer through that 50 stages. It seems like it deleted a lot of files and folders after its first scan. The comp is restarting right now... hopefully it's all fixed!

Yeah let me see it.

And do another restart or two. Sometimes they will re-generate after it is shut down again.

Quit trying to take my glory!!

would have liked a phone call to confirm completion (remember I am over 50+ and rely on call vs. online contact, esp on a Saturday evening) Thanks for the great service, I am happy with the results. Sandy

Safemode + Malwarebytes anti-malware, combofix and also Microsoft Security essentials.

This triple threat will remove almost any sort of malware, virus, etc. I suggest that you also keep them and also run the MalwareBytes and MSE once a week.

Malwarebytes is also very reliable too in getting rid of those annoying little critters in the computer.
