I need help...

[ping1970]

Last night I was searching for a website and I had a box come up that said I have spyware...well, it started putting stuff on my computer and trying to upload a pay program to 'get rid' of it. It also uploaded a Security Toolbar that I can't get rid of. I keep going into tools and trying to get rid of it, but no such luck. It has also put an icon in my bottom line that I can't seem to find to remove. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? It is driving me crazy ~ they keep on popping up a page and start to download by themselves :cussing:

That is so scary.
Do you have your data backed up someplace other than on your computer?

If not, make sure you put anything important on an external drive or disks.

I had that happen to me, and had to reformat the hard drive and reload my computer.
of course all my data was lost.

Good luck - let us know how it goes.

Lost it all...I am so sick ~ I lost my roboform and my iTunes all 300+ songs

My niece was trying to help me last night and told me that I could restore to a couple of days ago...when I got to the page that I thought she was talking about I ended up doing recovery instead :cussing: So now I've lost all my family pictures and my passwords also. I should have my butt kicked for not backing up my computer :nono:

Anyone that is reading this BACKUP your computer soon!! Ashelyn brought in a virus by downloading a stupid program the other night while I was asleep and I couldn't get rid of it...

I spent most of the night trying to remember what programs that I had on the computer before the great 'Ashelyn gate 2008', needless to say I'm not having much luck :error:

I was able to save all of my bought music ~ thank ya God! I lost everything that I have downloaded myself, but all that takes is time...and a lot of it! I will get all of that back on there eventually!

I was also able to get my roboform back ~ again thank ya God (and the wonderful peeps at roboform!) I just lost all my saved passwords, but again, just time...it could have been much worse. Now just to be able to gain a way to get onto some sites that I can't get back into...(so in other words, if you are missing me, you know why now) I can't get any help at all...imagine that ~ lol!
