Hello... Well, as the title suggests, my computer got a virus this morning. I was torrenting (I know, it's my own fault) an album, and some phony "Microsoft security" window popped up, telling me I had a virus. It then proceeded to suggest to me several programs I could download to rid myself of said virus. Needless to say, I ignored it, and tried using my antivirus program (Rogers Antivirus) to no avail. When scanning, it detects the virus, but when I try to open the report to delete it, the report won't open.
On top of that, the virus makes it such that I can't open many programs, including firefox. For some reason, however, it hasn't carried over to the rest of the accounts on the computer (as far as I know) and I can still use chrome on my dad's account.
Worse, I tried downloading avast, seeing as all my friends recommended it, but as soon as it was done installing, the computer shut down, and when it started up again, the trial was "over".
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would REALLY be appreciated.
