No I just viewed the manga online (it was the older chapters of Naruto) and then all of a sudden my laptop went crazy. It almost happend to my desktop as well ( viewing older chapters on this website) I am on my laptop now just got it back today and the guy says as long as I keep everything updated it shouldnt happen again. However I am still nervous to view the magna on my laptop/desktop and may just stick to viewing it on my ipod. :|
yea the guy took everything off, I have to find my download of Microsoft Office otherwise I have to buy it/ use this other program he gave me that I dont like very much. Not to mention I have to get Itunes and and everything else on here as well...yea i hate when that happens when that happens i just rebot and reformat my computer back to factory setting takes about a hour and its freei have a computer though not a laptop

As I already stated I am not a computer master or anything like that- I know some things about computers but I didnt know enough to get rid of the virus on my own. Not to mention some of the things I was told to do by that time it was too late. I tried and yea it sucks that I had to waste 95 dollars on it but it is what it is. U_U

Just buy a tablet, and get the cooridinating supplies.
I mostly used a Nook Color, and I viewed some stuff that would pull down a Super Computer.

yea thats what I was thinkin. I would read them here but I can't afford to get a virus every time I feel like reading older manga. So I am stuck going somewhere else for that.

Can't tell you how many times I've been hit with a virus, it's so annoying.
Here's what you should do rather frequently, backup all your files and documents on your recovery disks. You may not be a computer wiz but it shouldn't be too hard to do this. Do what I do now, back up all your files a few times a month (if you go Internet crazy going on everyday) just to be safe. Have daily virus scans with your protection software or at least have it done twice a week.
Luckily, my Cisco class is literally going over network protection right now and since this isn't new to me (I've been to tech support so many times you'd think I know how to protect my computer....I do to some extentxd) I may know how the virus got on your computer because what happened to you sounds similar to what happened to me. I was on my school's website with my laptop and this random virus scan came up saying I had been infected. It was a false scan and as soon as it finished it's so called scan I couldn't open anything on my desktop or computer. The only thing it would allow me to pull up was the false add to buy their fake security software.
How did the virus come up, because normally you can pull up task manager to end the program before it gets too far, and if not, manually shutting down your computer should get rid of it and allow you to restart fast enough to load up your anti-virus...for that matter what anti-virus software do you have because only a few are actually good quality.
Whatever, just back up your files regurally onto your recovery disks (hopefully you have them) and if nothing else works, you should be able to back up your computer to a point where it was working, and the virus will be gone.
