I just got online with my new labtop and haven't installed any anti-virus
software yet. A pop-up immediately appeared saying I should go to
www.spw3f.com for anti-spyware downloads. Stupidly I went to that site
and ever since have been having this problem: About 30 seconds to a
minute after getting online, I get a message from the System Admin (which
is me, right?) saying something like, "your system will be shutting down in
59 seconds" and then my computer proceeds to re-start. It only happens
when I plug in the ethernet card to get online. Also, I get frequent
download prompts popping up that I didn't initiate.
Help! Does anyone have a suggestion on free downloads online to get rid of
this virus or whatever it is, and any quality software purchase suggestions to
protect my pc in the future?
Thanks.
