A couple weeks ago I looked at the horoscopes on MSN.com. A few moments later, my computer was spitting up alerts that my anti-virus was out of date and to DL "Anti-Virus Soft" software to take care of the problem. It started to attack all programs. I couldn't open ANYTHING unless I had just rebooted and clicked to open something before the computer had everything up and running; while it was still loading programs on the desktop. Then it was, and still is, blocking my internet connection to iTunes Store and IE (I use Mozilla Firefox). I bought Trend Micro--on accident, I thought it was MacAfee. I installed it and ran it. My friend told me to get r-kill and run it then use malwarebytes. I did that. It seemed to work. It didn't work, though! Everytime I turn the computer on, if I don't open things before everything is loaded and up and running--I can't open it. It seems to paralyze the run.dll thing in all the programs. What is this and how do I get rid of it? I'm going crazy here! Let's keep in mind that I'm not dumb. I was not stupid enough to dl or purchase AntiVirus Soft. I am very skeptical of things on the internet bc I was dumb in the past--and I lose my entire computer. It was devastating.
