Help I think my computer just got a virus.

Sign in to disble this ad
I was going along happily when I went to refresh facebook and it logged me out. Couldn't log back in so I thought my account got hacked.

I immediately tried to reset my password and logged into my email. Which ALSO wouldn't accept my password, nor would it reset through the other options. So I try my other email account which is not associated in any way to either my facebook or facebook email. Same thing. So I try my Gmail. Same thing.

I just restarted my computer. I'm not sure what to do, I need some sort of free anti-virus scanner or something, if someone can recommend one to me.

I went upstairs and fixed my Gmail, but both my hotmail accounts say that I tried to guess my secret answer too many times (only once on one of them).

Any advice guys?

AVG Free is a good one

I don't know if you backup your system, through Windows, but if you do, you could restore to a recent backup, and that would likely solve your problem.

I don't backup, installing AVG as we speak.

Also, download and run Superantispyware. I find it more comprehensive than spybot s&d.
