Hey guys, I'm looking for some people to help me with a problem I've recently encountered on my computer.
Today, about 12 hours ago, a program was installed (Introduced itself to my toolbar) without my permission, and it called itself Securitron Protection. With this lurking on my computer, I can't open anything to get rid of it, since it instantly closes anything saying it has a "virus" in it. It cannot be removed as a program somehow (My knowledge of computers isn't all that great) and it needs to be "activated". I don't think I can do that, since that it might be a key logging program, and I have to get my desktop up and running again. If anyone can help me, it would be great. I hope I can answer any other questions if needed.
Sullo | | If running MSFT Windows maybe try a system restore? more of a last resort than a first resort though | | System restore closes too, unfortunately. | I assume you have antivirus program. Update and run a full scan with all options selected.
I'm also assuming you meant the toolbar on your browser. If so, then don't turn on the browser. | | Pantheon, I wish that would work. It detects the scan and stops it, and won't even let me access any browser. And yes, I meant toolbar, my mistake. | System restore closes too, unfortunately.
Did you access it from the boot menu (during computer startup)? It should work from there. | | shock2255 has helped me through PMs and the problem might just be solved. Thanks for the suggestions. | | closed by Sullo (2011-09-04 07:14:36) |
