RIGHT. basically, i picked this bum-boy up out of nowhere, and its just been irritating me for about 1 hr. wen the big shiny spinning wheel came up, it was like being hit in the face. it says this: There is no reason to panic. try to follow the given advice and links. if your computer is part of a network, unplug the network cable to prevent the spread of infection. Great. have tried following the instructions but no luck avast antivrus just says that it has been externally altered for moving the file to the chest, but it just says some gibberish that comes down to access denied when you look past the horse poop. but anyway. the QA i need is this: it says the “no action” button will not activate the malware. So does this mean that it will keep the virus at bay? because im only 16 and ive had enough of this tonight, my friend is round also and its ruining our night. so come on please no really technical jargon please. i dont get any of that.
Hi SOSASAP,
Run Flash Disinfector:

Try a boot time scan with avast! Right click the scanner screen, select ‘schedule a boot time scan’ and reboot when requested. (Or open the tab at the top left of the scanner screen and select the boot time option from there.)
Try the usual free adware/spyware scanners.
