Blue Crack Addict
I just went to a random news website and all of a sudden I got a pop up that said my computer is infected and to download Internet Security 2010. It took over all programs on my computer. I tried to go into ad/remove programs and that wouldn't open. I then tried to run the task manager to see what programs were running and the task manager button was no longer highlighted for me to click on it. Finally, I tried to shut it down but it wouldn't and a pop up kept coming up saying I needed to buy this program. I just unplugged it from the wall to shut it down and am using our other computer. It's an almost 8 year old computer with no current virus software on it. I'm planning on buying a new computer within a few months. I have all of my files backed up from that computer but itunes, which I can no longer open.
How do I get rid of this crap so I can use my computer again? If this is the end of the computer I'm fine with it but how do I get my itunes account onto a new computer? I tried to do that once on this computer but it didn't work and my account came up saying I didn't have any songs in it.
Also, while I'm here.....what sort of computer should I consider getting? I'd like a Mac due to it's reputation but I don't know if I can afford it. I don't do much in terms of downloading or using other programs other than the interent so I'm not sure I'd need anything too fancy.
