    So, I got a virus on my new PC. I've tried uninstalling updates, checking online on solutions, etc. etc. But, nothing seems to work. This is what it looks like. in the bottom right corner.

    I use a Windows 10, and I know I don't have "512 system issues" on my PC. I barely download anything, and apparently this somehow got in the mix. If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell me. Thank you.

    Looks like you have malware. Did any new program icons pop up on your desktop?

    Just Windows Defender, lol. Pretty easy to see why I got it.

    Just for a fact, Windows 10 is not very protective when it comes to malware, spyware, various viruses and stuff like taht.

    Just letting you know. Check twice before you download something, even though if it's from a trusted source. ;)

    Download AVG (Best Anti-Virus software in my opinion) and run a scan, this should remove all threats.

    If not. restart your computer in safe mode and restore your computer to a date before you had the virus.

    Hope this helps.
