Virus help

[ChrisCol]

Yesterday my virus protection expired just as a downloaded a virus. My other computer is now screwed and i am unable to download a new anti-virus or open my back-up virus protection. Any suggestions besides reformatting my computer

Different solutions can be determined by your OS, which is?

Actually i have solved my problem, the virus itself was what i thought was the virus-protection (I wasn't the one to install it so never knew the difference) it is a virus called security tool.

One of those that opens another web browser up and act as if it's cleaning your computer?

Yes, but then says it won't fix anything unless i pay for the program lol. This website helped me a lot, virus is now gone.
