So yeah. Another computer has been broken.
This time, it totally wasn't my fault. It started when I went on Google Images to find a picture of some parchment and got a virus. Got rid of it, but a day later I wake up and I suddenly have 3 Trojans on my PC. I could only delete one of them, as well. So I tried getting my father to fix it, and it seemed like he did.
... Until my computer started randomly turning itself off after a while. I dunno if it's going to be repaired or not, or if it may randomly fix itself, but I'll be gone and I'm not sure for how long.
I hate viruses.
Have fun in the restart!

O, oh, oh! I've had this virus! And fixed it too. All I did was turn on teh PC in fail safe mode and then system reset to some days ago. Worked like a charm. People underestimate the system reset function. . . It has saved me a bunch of times.

Pff- You and your lousy timing...
Hope you get it fixed soon; I don't want you to miss out on all the fun when the shit hits the fan.

Probably not the best metaphor to say, but oh well... Shit happens.

Such a 90's problem!
Safemode + Ctrl-Alt-Del and remove the process if it's a trojan or a worm-virus. In case that doesn't work you could just reset your computer back to any date that you have set a save-point for your computer settings.. Also, get AVG free edition and pwn those Trojans/backdoor viruses without even having to click! ^.^

This. This is exactly what I did.

T'is fixed!
I... think. I occasionally get random websites coming up, though. But until something else screws up, I guess I can declare this topic dismissed.

In the meantime, I would recommend malwarebytes antimalware to try and clean up the last few things that haven't gotten from your computer :v

There's a way to search for images and videos without fear of getting a virus or trojan.
