So I recently found myself buried under what appears to be a good deal of viruses and/or trojans. I immediately started scanning, of course. Ran a quick scan, only got one thing, then decided it would be best to do a thorough scan. Well, I’ve made it up to 29000 files scanned and found 6 things, but I’m worried now… It says that the current scanner status is infected and it’s scanning slower than 1 file per second… Does this mean my scanner itself is infected? And if so, what should I do about that and whatever else may be on my computer? Someone please help quickly!
Edit: Okay, so it picked up QUITE a bit of speed, it’s going much faster now. Thing is though, I still get these fake system messages that tell me to install programs that I’m 100% sure are fake programs used to propagate the trojan/viruses, and my scan is nearly done… I’m worried that the scan itself may not be removing the problem… Any suggestions on what to do in this case?
