you will need to back up all that you need to save on your pc
preferebly on a external hard drive
then you will need to completly delete every thing off your hard drive on your computer
i little tip dont down load programmes on your computer that you should normally pay for
when you think their free they will always come with loads of adware which causes all your pop ups and redirections
be warned for future use

i think its a firewall type thing. regular scans and i think it automatically cleans the computer of shite..need someone to back me up here :lol:

2000 is alot, a full restore would help but there's two problems:

they're not easy to do if your not computer savvy

the computer shops will charge you a fortune for 'man hours'

tomorrow I'll do a bit more research into mass virus removal and send you a PM.

Try using a program called Avast! It's pretty good.

Sounds like you're fecked - Spybot might help you too.

I doubt you're going to clear them all off, if you've got that many you've probably got some Trojans or some Malware on there - you'll know if you come across them, they'll proper feck your computer up!

If you are using windows, go on the Microsoft website and download for free : Microsoft security essentials.
It wiped mine clean although it wasn't in the state yours sounds like it in, I like this one as it's from Microsoft itself so it can't be bad.

Back to factory settings all day long mate!!

Save all your shit onto something external first

And like one of the previous posts the moment you get something for free that's when the probs start!!

This is from experience.

Good luck

one thing i have learnt from the computer, internet, life, nothing is free, buy your internet security, norton is the best by far, you got to pay out money if you want protection for you pc,

It's sound like you picked up a virus, are you finding everything running slow and and getting re-directed to 'The Internet Security 2010 web', asking to part with your cash to fix the issues.

You need to down Malwarebytes program from the link below and boot up pc in safe mode, then run this Malearebytes, this will help.

Download.com has all the free stuff you will need e.g. avg free / antimalware free etc. A useful litle tool is crap cleaner. Goto http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/update ... 310&l=1033 - download this, and run it basically every day - it removes all the crap from your pc. It also has a thing called Registry - use this to fix most problems on your pc. Always say yes to making a backup before fixing all found problems. It is also useful for removing traces of any traces of sights you have looked at containing naked women :D
