You still use Internet Explorer, bruh?
Try doing a system restore. Restore your pc to a point in time before You got the virus.

when i did system restore with the google redirect virus that i had....unfortunately that ? didnt work......but my friend said he got a virus one day ......and system restore worked for him......give it a try -
As a former worker at Microsoft inc I and lots of others know that there is a file called "System32". "System32" is something that saves snapshots, boomarks and history of internet browsers. This helps Microsoft learn how to improve its web experience. To make your computer run faster and fix internet problems just open up "my computer" from the start menu and search in the top right corner "System32". Wait for everything to load, select all the files and folders named "System32" and then simply delete them from windows. Just a warning though, doing this will completely remove your browsing history.

internet explorer is my default brower
but i usually use moxilla fox and google chrome because they are more compatible with websites
am gonna try doin system restore off that link you sent

I had a "Antivirus 2012" virus earlier this year. I used this guide to get rid of that ? .
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-win-7-antispyware-2012
They got other guides here to fit the problem that you have (Whether you're using XP,Vista,Win. 7 etc...) but I believe they follow the same way.

I Should've told you this to begin with. Try those links. -
thnks but its fixed for now
-
Good that all is fixed.
Use google chrome when surfing the internet. Install the chrome plugin ,adblock plus, as a extra.
If u dont have a antivirus install AVG antivirus free. Best free one you can get. -
if it's fixed "for now", then do this:
Download and run TDSS Killer - http://support.kaspersky.com/5350
This will take care of most rootkits.
Download Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/
install it and allow it to run a full scan on your machine. When it's done, have it delete the malware.
Typically, these two will get ride of a lot of ? . If you're still having problems post back and I'll see what I can do. -
you need to re-install windows 7 all over again

fam why were you continuing to try and download ... the work around is to use a different pc and install from cd or flash/external hardrive
if you cant get to another pc right now try this
click start
click run
type "msconfig" with out the quotes and then click ok
when the window for msconfig pops up, choose the option "diagnostic start up - load basic devices and services only"
click apply
click ok
then restart
now try to download whatever programs you want to try and use -

i JUST got one of my cpu last night... i was shaking like a leaf on a tree...it was some ? about the FBI had frozen my cpu and it had some kiddie porn ? on there...apparently the virus wants you to pay some fee for your cpu to be unblocked but i typed the name of the virus in youtube on my laptop and got it off in 5 min...
but if it hasnt been suggested already, you might have to boot in safe mode and delete all the temp stuff the virus put on your cpu and delete some stuff from the registry...once you do that...you good...no need for system restore and all that unnecessary stuff...system restore is a last resort imo.
subliminal self snitching??? -
This is a troll post

Just delete system 32 and restart your computer. Fixed my laptop every time by doing so.
