To whom it may concern,

I was on the Internet late night (again) and after clicking a link a friend posted on facebook to another social website "formspring" a pop-up came up and I thought nothing of it, and would continuously "x" out of all of them. after a little while my security wall freaked out, but I continued to close out of it. After a little while of that, a larger pop-up came stating something was trying to get my passwords for various sites. so I shut my computer off.
This morning I turn on my computer and all I get is a black screen. No toolbars, icons, or anything ! It'll open Internet searching or things. My hot keys don't effect this, and I can't access any "my computer" type of programs. Help is appeticated.

You need to post in the security forum as your computer has been compromised. If it can be reversed, they will help you, otherwise you may have to reformat and install Windows. Read and follow these instructions, then post in this forum with the results of the tests and they will start helping you.
