This is my GFs computer. I have a mac so I'm not brilliantly equipped to deal with any of these issues, unfortunately.
She was on a random website which streams American TV shows before their available anywhere(dodgy, I know). Then all of a sudden porn pop-ups, AVG alert and Windows Security start jumping up saying programs are running or something similar.
She can't open any folders, applications, browser, nothing and the internet is not connecting. Whenever she clicks on anything the alert pops up saying there's a malicious program running, every time it's a different .exe.
I tried doing a system restore but it wont let me access it. I tried opening the task manager to end the processes running in the background but it wont let me. I booted it in safe mode but then there's still no connectivity and she doesn't have any anti-spyware/virus software other than AVG which isn't clearing anything.
Any advice?
Sorry for my rather vague description, I'll get the laptop off her tonight and post up something more detailed. The operating system is Windows 7.
