CO, Mast.. A little help here, please.
The Husband's PC is pretty fucked at the moment. Avast has found a TON of viruses and malware, and it acts like it's deleting what it's found after that option is selected. Then, it says it needs to reboot to clean the system. After booting back up, it finds the shit again. He's had popups from hell. Also, his Task Manager is completely gone off his system. So, we can't see what's loading and we can't stop it from loading. I'm assuming that's an added bonus to this lovely virus, because he sure as hell didn't delete that.
I've downloaded Firefox and Microsoft AntiVirus for him to use when he's done with this, but.. That doesn't help now.
(And yes.. He's a dumbass. Up until today, he's been using Internet Explorer, against my advice.)
I've got a boot-scan going on right now on his PC, but I think he already did that earlier and it didn't help.
What do you guys think? What should the next steps be?
I'm wiped out right now so I'm headed to bed. I'll check the thread when I get up. Thanks for any help in advance.
