it wants me to download anti virus protection from safeprojects.com. it's also taken over my homepage. Norton scan reveals nothing. Help please, how do I get rid of it?
I've had a new security bar appear on my toolbar which keeps telling me I have a system alert?panda
You have been infected.
A lot of viruses, spyware %26 adware sit in RAM, the registry and System Restore and because of the latter will return even after deleting or re-booting. Removing can be quite time consuming but thankfully not impossible.
First of all turn off System Restore by right clicking on 鈥楳y Computer鈥?%26gt; Properties %26gt; System Restore. Now enable 鈥淭urn off system restore on all drives鈥?%26gt; click apply %26gt; click ok.
Re-boot your computer in Safe Mode 鈥?(achieved by pressing F8 continually during boot up) this should clear out the viruses and spies in RAM and the registry. Now run your anti virus and anti spyware and anti adware software and delete or quarantine any viruses or spies found.
Re-boot your computer in normal mode and complete another virus check. If all comes back clean turn on System Restore.
