Ok so my brother was playing games at some site i tell him never to go to but oh well. And now my computer has the Antivirus XP 2008.I have the blue deskop that says warning!your computer blahblahblah. Ive scanned my computer with the following, Norton,A squared,CCLeaner,Atf cleaner,Avast antivirus,Superaantispyware, and spybot search and destroy.
it got rid of most of the crap but when i turn on the computer it still has that damn desktop with the warning.And i have went to control panel to try to change it back but the Desktop tab was not there. I also want to get rid of the fake notification in the bottom right that says "Your computer is at risk Click here for more information"which i know is some scam link. And every now and then there are some Windows messages like "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page! We like you and we want you to stay!" Yeah that is actually what it said.
So COME On GUYS I NEED YOUR HELP!HOW ME GET RID OF THIS VIRUS
