Default Not sure what's going on..


On my other computer when we turn it on the moment it connects to the internet the darn thing goes wonky. It starts opening a lot of Explorer windows but they all say something about being unable to connect to the site. I am almost sure it's a virus but I'm not sure how I can do anything when ..I can't even get the computer to stop spamming me! Please someone HELP ME. I don't care what I have to do. Even if I have to redo my system.

Disconnect it from the internet. Pull the cable or turn off the wireless adapter. Then you should be able to boot in safe mode. On power in press F8 key until you get a screen offering you safe mode option.

When booted in safe mode run a virus scan and spyware scans. If you don't have them already installed or recently updated you'll need to get them on a cd or thumb drive to update or install on the infected machine.
