I know this is weird, but every time I open my antivirus program or any webpage that has links or downloads to antivirus programs, it closes itself. I've tried installing another one of my programs that I have in my PC, but it shuts down as well. Is this some sort of virus? Can I fix it? Has anything like this happened to anyone?
Virus that shuts down anything with the word 'virus'?ariel
The FIRST thing to do is DISABLE System Restore.
If enabled, this allows malware to hide in the computer and re-install itself. To disable it, RIGHT-click on ''My Computer.'' Select ''Properties'' then under the 'System Restore' tab, check 'Turn off system restore' IF not already checked.
The next most helpful things that would help you are to use ONLINE scanners from websites to remove any malware on your PC. The current best online scanners I prefer are from Kaspersky antivirus and Bitdefender antivirus. Together, these 2 scanners will find ALL the bad stuff on your PC because they have the BEST detection rate.
First, use Kaspersky's. (FYI: ALL these scans require you to agree to a EULA and install an activex control which is needed to perform the scan, so agree to them all.)
*NOTE: Some scanners ONLY work with IE or may not fully remove malware
