And somehow after 40 minutes of trying to get into my PC (It locks you out of your PC for those that aren't familiar) and leaving the PC on but not logged in for an hour it magically went away? Really, really weird. I got my Virus Tech Support through McAfee Verizon to go through the registry and they did not see the virus. Although he was moving so fast he may have deleted it? Although since I tried many times in safe mode as well as networking safe mode to get into the PC and it still didn't let me in that is strange. [Link] |

"Press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. Please keep in mind that you need to press the F8 key before the Windows start-up logo appears." And after contacting HP, Microsoft, & PC Tune Up they all said this virus has become very aggressive in the last few months. My guess is they are trying to attack windows 8. The virus has been around since 09'. I actually saw it on a Public Library PC a few years ago. |
