While I was at neopets earlier I got a popup, then my computer froze briefly. I recently crashed my computer due to having a virus and I haven't downloaded anything other than the newest version of flash and stuff. I have the only account on this computer but when I try to bring up task manager it says my computer administrator has disabled it. Also my background turned black and says something about my computer being in danger! I'd like to know where I can get a free antivirus program, and know how to be able to use task manager again. If iyou need to know, I have windows xp.

Hi,
If you are serious about protecting your PC security and privacy. We, strongly recommend you that don't use any Free Anti-spyware or Anti-Virus software.
In realty, Free software can be harmful for you PC, because such type of softwares come generally with no warranty and no Technical support !!
You can not trust the scan results of so called FREEWARE, as they can detect and remove your important systems application files, without your permission. And, your systems can get some damage and/or may get crash.
If you download any free software and when you run it, you may get a warning that, "Run at your own risk". Now all up depend on you.
But you can download a Trial version of software. This software will hlep you to find any of infections from your computer.
Try it :- http://www.spywarefree.biz.ly
Best of luck!!

the best thing you do to resolve the problem is to reinstall the operating system . at most propabley your computer has been infected with a powerfull virus.
as for the antivirus , to get a good antivirus program you must buy and that is better for you .
