I've been trying to get on the internet of my kids computer, but I think there is a virus on it. How can I download virus protection if I can't get on the internet to download it>

Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly :D

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe

If you have access to a USB/Flash drive, or a CD burner on working machine, then please do the following.
Another alternative is to use system restore on the infected machine to return i to a point where it has internet access.
