I haven't used this site in awhile, and I do appreciate the work you guys do, as well as all the members who use these threads. A friend really messed up his computer. I can barely access the internet, I can't open up my task manager. I get an error that says the administrator has blocked that action. I can't even access the task manager using safe mode.
I also tried installing Microbytes, but the virus doesn't seem to want any other anti spyware stuff running. It appears it's one of those bogus buy me now or your computer will explode gimmics, except this one is one of the worst I've seen.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice / help.
