| 818723 | 2009-10-10 01:11:00 | hi. somehow my system was infected with a program called "security tool" - it tells me I have umpteen viruses, trojans, etc. every program I try to run, it stops, telling me they are all infected. it wants me to pay 80 bucks to run it, etc. no uninstall. it is not listed. can not run hijack this. i googled it and found a program to remove it, which i downloaded, but then was unable to open due to this piece of *&^^&* program. anyone have any clues how to get rid of this?!? thanx, in advance.:mad: |

| 818726 | 2009-10-10 01:24:00 | stupid quick question speedy - where do i find system restore - no icons on desktop. then follow link on your signature? thanks. | starrekin61 (10116) | ||
| 818727 | 2009-10-10 01:30:00 | What version of windows is it? If XP press the windows key (if the kb has one) and pause. Click on system restore, untick it. If Vista, same thing / system protection / untick c on the bottom. Or get teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com), boot into safe mode / networking. Install teamviewer / run it. Then send the ID and PW to me in a PM. And I'll check it out for you | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
