Just kicked the bucket. Fuckin virus that pops up at launch pretending to be a anti-virus program and closes all progrms and tells you you have a bunch of imaginary viruses and closes all your programs. Wont let you open task manager or any control panel options, wont let your comp start in safe mode, can't find a way to do a system recovery now and it disabled my internet connection. Think im fucked. Fuckin god damn it!

can anyone reccomend me a decent computer for around 500 bucks?

I had something exactly like that earlier in the year.  Was it called anti-virus 2010 or antivirus-1 or something?  If that's what it is go to www.malwarebytes.com if you can get online and download their free software.  The virus disabled my Norton 360 and I thought I was screwed but for some reason the malwarebytes stuff worked.

well thats nice.


And you dont need a new computer beacuse of a virus, you just need to find a windows xp cd or the restore disks that should of came with your computer and you can just reinstall windows.

You dont have to buy a new computer because of some virus. Did your laptop come with any recovery CD? If so, run it and at startup it should ask you if you want to revert your computer to the factory state. HP laptops also have a recovery partion but if you cant to get to 'My Computer' it wont be much help.
If you dont have a recovery CD, you will probally have to get a windows CD and install windows again.
