I ran a verizon virus scan and my computer shut down windows cause of a virus when I hit 70% completion. I was like damn that must be a bad 30%.

Failest?! WTF are you lot doing to the Queens English?! Winningest, beverisation, doable, confrontationalised! These are not words! They're bullshitations by cretinised fuck-wittians!!!

Delete that shit now, it's actually prolly too late. I'm sure you've got the backdoor/Cybot virus. Try to restore your PC to at least a week ago. You don't need to pay for spyware/anti-virus programs because Microsoft Security Essentials and firewall will be sufficient protection for your network.

Fail.
But yeah, I use Norton, really good software and it's only like...$30 a year?

Download spybot search and destroy, takes a long time, but it gets everything.
It's free forever.

My dad said it's a scam and now we got to go to bestbuy to fix it cause we can't even open verizon security suite or even the Internet!!

If it is the one that intercepts task manager and doesn't allow you to even do a run of 'cmd' or 'command.com' then beware that once it looks like it is fixed, there are still a few nasties lurking...nastiest is that it redirects your most common web accesses to sites that mimic goggle, eBay, etc.

Took me hours to unwind this one from a friends computer. A free program called malwarebytes was invaluable in helping fix the problem and keeping it away...snuck right by semantec.

Oh, when you see a virus check warning message that looks similar to a Microsoft one, check the spelling carefully...one word spelled wrong and you still have the Trojan on your system.

Good luck

Thanks but me and my dad SUCK at fixing computers we trust a verizon or bestbuy guy
Primo Nov 27, 2010

Lol you're fucked if you trust Verizon or Bestbuy people. They are going to rip your ass off and keep your PC for weeks. Save all the files/photos/documents you want to an online or external storage and then reformat your PC with the start-up disk.

Use avast antivirus home edition. It's free and it's one of the best free programs out there.
