I had a few viruses recently that locked me out of everything, got rid by using the microsoft link above and works fine now. You have to run Internet explorer for it to work.

HTH

 

A worm is a virus by the way.

thanks going to try it now, hopefully my laptop doesnt switch off before it gets to the end. lol.

When you run the scan, it will pick it up in the first 15 mins. you probably wont need to run the defrag, as that takes the longest.

Yep virus and not a nice one get a decent anti-virus on there like bit defender etc

 

and you wont need to worry again for a year ! ;)

i have got kaspersky, i got it free last year and this as well, cos i bank online with barclays. i can, and have used it on 3 computers each year.

nice little perk that!!!

thank you barclays, didn't think i'd ever say that :winkiss:

lol that is good to be fair i can only do two pc's with bit defender :(

i struggled with our main computer about 5 years back, had a mind of its own, and was desperate so tried combifix.

seemed to work for me, don't know what its like today.
