This is driving me insane. I am about ready to take my computer in and get it cleaned out (or whatever you call it). I do that about once a year but I end losing some valuable information and basically have to re do somethings that I have set up so I am trying to avoid this route at all costs.
Here is the scoop. My computer seems to running fine but a few times a days I get this "thread infected" pop up show up. I finally decided I would mess around and click it and even when you try and fix it the thing just leaves no matter where I click. I am almost able to live with this. My buddy told me to download some spyware which I did but this thing still pops up but a little less then before. Here is my major probelm that I have noticed, none of my audio/video stuff works (if that makes sense, bear with me I am not a computer expert or even close). So if I go to youtube.com sometimes I can see the video but if I go to click on it then it wont play. I can't see any videos in the middle of a thread here at the RX. There are certain sites that wont show up for me, meaning when I type the url in nothing shows up on my screen. If a website has an audio link to clik on and I go to click it nothing happens.
Anyways does anyone have a clue where to start with this. I want to avoid taking this in but I think it is going to have to happen. I have had major viruses in the past where you just your connection, stuff freezes up on you, everything seems to move slow, etc but this isnt anything like that. It is more like I described above. Is there any type of different spyware I need to download, etc? Thanks
