Paphos People :: View topic - pc virus what do you do

To give exact instruction, exact details are required ... please get as many details from each of the 7 warning messages and post here.

There is a possibility that whilst this possibly infected machine is connected to the internet it could be spewing out more virii to email addresses it finds so if it were me id make sure it wasn't connected to the internet, or any other machine on my network. Thats just me. Others may suggest to visit an online antivirus checker which hopefully will pickup the rogue files too.

Sorry can't be more help but really need the details.
