My Computer's Got Bugs!

Actually, it's more serious than that. Last Thursday, Aug. 7, my son got a pop-up which said something that scared him. It said something and then said that he needed to download this program to remove the system problem (or something like this according to him). So he did (without checking with me first). But, in the process he actually did add spyware (or a trojan) or something like that. Anyway, I looked up the program he added which is called Antivirus XP 2008. Whatever you do, don't ever download it. It will surely drive you nuts. It's sure driving us nuts.

 

So, I'm sorry for skipping out on you. It appears we'll have to take our computer to a specialist to get this nasty spyware (at least I think that's what the response to my google search said it is) removed. Sorry I can't visit. I'm going to go ahead and shut back down. This program does automatically continue to restart my computer if we let it idle for even a little bit. Plus, I keep getting some stupid pop-ups. SORRY!!!!!!!
