HELP i got the pesttrap virus how do i get rid of it for free? how do i get my wallpaper back?
I dont know what to do!!!!! i got the internet yesterday and i got the pest trap virus already! what do i do? and also it took my wallpaper and i tried to go to control panel and get it back but it wasn’t even there anymore!!!! i already went to control panel and deleted it but i still don’t have a wallpaper and the little red x (the one that says “your computer is infected” )next to my sound control button is still there. and i checked my email yesterday when i didn’t have the virus so now i am worried that maybe i was already infected before it showed up on screen. it really freaked me out becouse a screen popped up with no exit button and took over the screen and told me i was infected but i was able to use control alt delete to restart my computer so i could try to delete it. I have windows xp. the bad thing is it already did a deep scan on my computer and it may have put viruses in my files. please help!!!!!!! P.S TO ANYONE WHO HAS PESTTRAP DELETE IT, IT IS A VIRUS!
