Recently I had downloaded a patch for a certain software. The readme said to execute the file and i did as said. When I tried using my program it didn't work. Suddenly whenever I clicked A link on the explorer it will take me to a spam site that is attempting to give out a 'free' Antivirus which obviuosbly is a scam but it continously comes and never stops. Now im stuck everytime i press enter, left click on folders or even use IE it redirectes me to that link. I used my anti virus and nothing worked and I also tried System Restore but nothing happened someone please suggest what i should do to remove of this problem as it has become seriously annoying
Thanks

Here is my suggestion, attempt to get all the important files out of your computer and put them on to an external drive and then use the proper System Recovery discs to completely wipe the computer's memory. If you don't own an external drive a Terabyte (1000 GBs) of space costs about $150 or you can get cheaper ones with less space… and system recovery discs usually cost about $10-$20 if ou don't already have them. Yes it is a sad thing to do but if this virus is THAT bad this is what I suggest you do. And then if you don't have an external drive currently (or if you do) you can just store all you important files there just in case something like this happens again.
