OK, It first started back a few months ago. I randomly got redirected to a site, and my browser crashed and this little box outlined in red says "This program is infected". And gave me the option to close the box or scan now. I wasn't about to click scan now and cooperate with It because i was pretty sure it was just a virus. But then again I'm completely a newbie at this. And so I closed it, and tried to re-open my browser, The box opened again. So i tried to open task manager, Once again the box opened. So i realized my Pc. was infected and restarted, I started in safe mode with networking. Then i downloaded malwarebytes, ccCleaner and Avg free. Considering I had no Av at all. I did everything I possibly could with malwarebytes and ccCleaner, and i was still in the same position from when i started. I scanned with avg while in safe mode and it seemed to find a few things and contain them. And i was able to start my Pc normally again. Well after the free 30 days of avg was up, The first time i started my Firefox and tried to browse I got redirected and BOOM browser crashed with the same little red outlined box. By this point I didn't really know what to do. So I pulled out the old dusty windows xp disk and tried to repair. All went well, and the repair was successful. But when i booted up, Everything was the same. Still had the the little box telling me every program i try to open is infected. So there was pretty much nothing else i could do. I clicked "scan now" on the little red box. It pulls up this window with the names of every Av I've ever heard of and alot! more, With little bars beside them. Like it was loading something. or scanning. So i let it do its thing, and after a few loaded it told me to choose one of them. I chose something called hotfix. It installed and opened. asking me for every possible personal information I could have. Like Social S. card #, my entire name, credit card #s... Ect. Of course I entered it all..... Just playing
. But yeah I was like no way, not about to do that. And just restarted my computer trying to think of more solutions. After boot. This program "hotfix" pops up and only hotfix. No desktop/explorer. With only one option "scan now" which brought me back to where it was asking for all of my personal information. So i try task manager again. And it successfully opens, I found hotfix and deleted the process and then started the process, Explorer.exe. And boom everything was working. No more little red box telling me everything was infected. And every time i restart my computer Hotfix pops up and i have to close it with task manager And start my explorer.exe. It has been this way for months now. And my browser keeps redirecting me constantly. Or certain pages on my browser won't load, or will load and looks very weird. And there's multiple little random things that just go wrong with my computer.I'm sorry for this very long story, I just didn't want to keep out any details that could potentially help my problem.
I guess Thanks in advanced and i will be here for awhile waiting on a reply.
And oh yeah, here's this I hope I did this right, I wasn't sure if it was needed or not.
