So I got on the computer earlier and was looking for a site in the history bar and hit CA by accident. Wasn't on the site but maybe 30 seconds when Java opened on it's own, and I tried to shut it down. No dice. Comp is now totally infected, with what, not sure. Can't even get into stuff in Safe Mode.

For the record, I am posting this from my Iphone. I can't run command prompts for folders containing installers (including the exe for Malwarebytes, conveniently enough), created an administrator account, etc.

Mods/Goob, please look into this. I have to re-install now because of it.

he speaks the truth

 
Firefox = fail.

I knew it wa bad when I ran Command Line and tried to use CD into a couple folders that had my install files. Denied.

Whatever it is, it is NASTY.

Oh well, I learned my lesson.

Use a browser that has some protection unlike IE?

Hmm I've been working with computers for around 20 years, everything from repair to system administration to network administration... I run I.E. and I don't have any issues personally. I'm on here every day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
