READ BEFORE ANSWER!!
I wanted to watch this video, and suddenly this program popped up and it said something about installing a security thingy into my computer. I got really puzzled because I didn’t give it permission! And when I went to Control Panel and Add or Remove Program, I was looking for that program and it wasn’t there, nor was the ‘Change/Remove’ Button! I got really mad because my computer is acting slowly and when I turn it on, there’s this program saying it’s Scanning when I didn’t even give it permission to! And all these programs now keep popping up about security things! But when I do try to Enable thing on the Settings, it says I have to put an activation code which I wasn’t given.
WHY IS IT LIKE THAT? HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
Please Help me, im esecially not happy about the Unistall bit.
HELP!
