As I unlocked my computer this afternoon, I was shocked to see 20 Internet Explorer windows open, plus several spyware warnings and program install requests. I tried to close everything, but it was hopeless, so I just turned the computer off. After it rebooted and I attempted to log back into my name, it said my log-in was corrupted and that I'd have to use a temporary one. I did this, but all of the same spyware problems were present on the temporary log-in as well. I used a Spyware removal program to search for problems, but it didn't really seem to work. Then, I went through my Installed Programs list and uninstalled any I thought contained spyware. After all this, my pop-ups have stopped, and I haven't tried to log-in under my old, permanent name, but I'm really worried that I won't be able to. All of my documents AND my iTunes are on that thing!! Does anyone have any solutions to my terrible, terrible problem??
