Yesterday a box popped up on my screen saying that there was a virus found or something but then it said "action taken: quarantined". When I close the box it just pops up again and at the bottom it says how many notifications there are. I think it was something like Trojan horse or something like that and it was like some symantec anti-virus notification. Anyways then I went into "My Computer" and double clicked on "Local Disk (D:)" and it said that "Local Disk (D:) is not a valid win32 application". Same thing for Local Disk C. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with it and how can I fix it? I already tried restarting my computer and I left it off since last night. I can't access anything in (D:). What should I do?

okay, my computer is freaking out, it deleted my wallpaper and put up this warning that says "Warning Spyware Threat Has Been Detected on Your PC, your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity Your Adress is -------- and via this address an unauthorized was gained by another computer it is strongly recommended to install an antispyware software to close all security vulnerabilities." and this message keeps popping up from microsoft or something that says to update your spyware software to delete the spyware, but i have to buy it. and if i change the wallpaper to another picture, the computer keeps it for like 2 minutes then changes it back to this warning, i turned off all the automatic warnings in my comps protection and its still coming up, and i cant access my task manager which has never happened. what do i do???!!!

Avg recently alerted me to two trojans. One called downloader.Generic6.sjk with the path C:\program files\WinBudget\bin\matrix.dll and the other Generic6.AARY with the path C:\system volume information\_restore followed by a long series of numbers.

What should I do? And how can I uninstall WinBudget?

Note Spybot is run on the computer frequently

Just wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiances. I bought an item off ebay and of course used paypal. However, after a few days, the payment went unclaimed and I cancelled the payment yesterday. My online banking still shows that it has not be refunded. How long does this usually take? Its the first time I used it and I am just a little nervous that I have been ripped off. Advice? I tried calling the customer service number twice today and have been on hold for a really long time.
