Hey gang!
I'm not as computer savy as I once was and I could use some help.
Have any of you been slammed with Total Secure 2009? My nephew was over on Wednesday and downloaded some guitar demo program and along with it came this total secure 2009. It has completely messed up my computer. It will boot but I have no start menu buttons and I have a "virus alert" next to the clock on the task bar. I've run my anti virus software and it has found nothing. I've tried installing Spy Sweeper, which I updated but every time I try and install the update the computer will not reboot and thus the program will not finish installing.
There are directions on how to remove the program manually but I don't like messing with the registry. I've been out of the computer loop for far too long to start tinkering around in there.
Of course the web instructions suggest downloading and buying their software...Any help would be great. I'm having to use my older machine to get online, and it is updating all kinds of stuff right now. Moving kind of slow. I would rather not whip my computer out if I can avoid it. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!!!
