Ok, my mom downloaded a video codec and attached to tha codec was the aforementioned program. It downloaded on its own because I couldn’t get it to stop! I have brought up the task manager and ended its processes and I have deleted the registry keys that it created and finally deleted it from the program list but is still wreaking havoc on my computer. It has a stupid window on my background saying that i have all these viruses and I can’t change my background, also, my computer is moving very slowly and is freezing up so badly that I am having to turn it off and turn it back on alot! Please Help!
