Oh dear.
I have been using my laptop most of the day and literally 5 minutes ago I opened a video on Youtube and after I finished it an alert in the taskbar pops up and says that my computer is at risk. I thought it was really suspicious when an antivirus program that I had never heard of popped up out of no where and started doing a "Virus Scan". Then I tried to open Taskmanager and a warning opened saying "tskmngr.exe is infected would you like to run a virus scan now?". Then I tried to go on OcUK on my laptop then it says that chrome.exe is infected and that I will have to pay for internet security. Nothing works now and I am writing this on my other computer. I have quite a lot of stuff I would like to keep on my laptop and I really don't want to do another format and spend the next week trying to update Windows XP.
Please help me guys!
Btw the suspected virus is called AV Security Suite.
