Mijn pc is geïnfecteerd met het nep- antivirusprogramma total pc defender 2010.

Wanneer ik mijn pc opstart en terecht kom op mijn bureaublad, duurt het welgeteld 10 seconden eer total pc defender 2010 tevoorschijn komt. Vanaf ik een programma of bestand wil openen, beweert dit fake programma dat het is geïnfecteerd…

Hoe kan ik ervoor zorgen dat dit fake programma zo snel mogelijk weg is ?

groeten

Hey, I’m really confused. As soon as I start my laptop it goes into “System Scan” so I’m not able to go to the “Start” menu. I opened up the task manager and ended every process I could. After that it goes to a black screen and when I start my laptop over it goes right back into “System Scan”. Is there any way you all can give me a detailed step by step way to fix this problem from opening the task manager? I’m in dire need of help.

Thanks!
