Computer Guy

[99PONTIACGP]

My work computer has all kinds of pop ups that there is a virus, malware and tracking bugs on it. I cant even use the internet because it takes me to another screen that says theres security issues. I need to have someone clean it out, save the files that are on it, and put everything back on the computer since I use it for my office.

I can't make it out that far during the week. Can you drop it off for the weekend or do you need it sooner?

""says theres security issues.""

Sounds like you have one of those MALWARE fake viruses that make your computer slower. IE: PCTOOLS or somting.

THe program will tell you, you have some viruses and show some type of scanning.. Than force you to purchase the program.. ALl fake.

If you dont remve this virus correctly, it will come back and haunt you. It has many variants. Also, i reccomend reinstalling and formatting the entire pc. It may be time for it
