First Norton said there were 4 viruses detected...one that could not be accessed nor removed. This was 2 days ago. Now at the bottom toolbar there is tons of envelopes with a magnify glass on it. Symantic is running a scan on ALL these msgs. And they are neverending! I keep getting hundreds of popups from Symantec(Norton) saying that the msg I sent was denied, SPAM, permanently blocked, or I need to try again later. I of course am not sending the messages, and now it is running EXTREMELY slow and I am still getting the popups.
I called a computer fixer place, they said that I can try to do a backup data and it might fix the problem. If not I'll have to get it fixed by a technician for about $120-150!!
PLEASE HELP ME! I would like to do this my self. I am pretty good on the computer, I've just never come across this issue. I DON'T have the the $$ to take it in.
If anyone has any advise or some things that I myself can try doing I would deeply appreciate it! Thanks

Try this..........
Download the free version of AVG.
- turn off your restore feature for windows.
- shut your computer down and then turn it back on in safe mode. I think you can do this by pushing f10 as your computer is booting up.
Run a full system scan with AVG and it should get it out.
Hope this helps

in case your laptop has grow to be contaminated with this way of "secret agent ware eliminating classes", you probable downloaded an contaminated codec software once you tried to observe a video on line or think ofyou've got been hit by way of a "rigidity-by way of" setting up of Smitfraud. SmitFraud attacks teach pretend antispyware classes popups on your reveal screen and/or a balloon popup from the homestead windows device tray showing a caution message that your laptop is contaminated with secret agent ware and telling you to purchase, receive & installation their software to eliminate it.

disconnect from the internet and reinstall windows, back up any data you want to keep, but scan with an anti-virus before putting it back into your system
