my security on my computer’s going bonkers and I need to get past it to download javascript can anyone please tell me what I can do? lol I feel as if my true blond is really showing right now

One that detects security tool?

My laptop got infected by this fake spyware and i cant get rid of it. It covered my background with a black screen and all i can see is my task bar and the only thing that works is my internet. I tried to download spyware doctor to get rid of it but i cant install it once it downloads bc the black screen covers it up. Im sorry if my explanation is a little confusing but if anyone knows how to get rid of this please answer.

Everytime I restart my computer, there’s this warning appears saying: Check your computer security, the Security Center Service is not running. Click this notification to fix this problem.
And I can’t turn it on…

I have avg anti-virus and malwarebytes anti-spyware. is there any other programs i should have?
And is spyware, malware, and viruses all i should care about? Plus what are the best free programs i should have?
and how many of each should i have? and i also have windows defender

I have Windows Defender, AVG, Malwarebytes, Windows Firewall, and Microsoft Security essentials (downloaded that one today). I am also thinking of downloading Spybot search and destroy. Should delete anything or install anything. Plus if this matters i also have cc cleaner.

Im 16 and My teacher says i should work for IT computer security, i was thinking about it. I need info from current people who work for computer security!
Questions:
How did you get to where you are now?
What majors did you take in college?
What is your hourly pay or salary?
what college classes did you take?
any extra info

Thanks!

basically security tool virus thing got downloaded and it messed up my whole computer cant go onto sites without pop ups blocks and my computer screen is all black i have tried to download stuff to stop it i just cant succeed while doing it help please.

I just got this computer its been used though and it has something from the last people who had it called security tool i already know its a rouge anti virus but i cant figure out how to delete it it closes everything i try to get to fix it and it wont let me bring up security center also for some reason i cant see any of the icons on my desktop if anyone can help me remove this thing please help me

Can I feel safe letting my computer run while trying to figure out how to get rid of it, or is it stealing more information the longer I keep my computer running? And what is it stealing? I am sooo computer illiterate, I don’t kno what’s going on, I just know I don’t like it!
Thanks "ifiossdaily"
Fortunately I have two computers, so once I saw it pop up, and I knew it wasn’t a good thing, I shut my computer down and went to my other. I then searched the internet for what it might be, but everything that talked about it never said what it did, and I was worried about comeone getting personal information (like I said, I don’t know how this stuff works). If there are just trying to get me to buy something, then I’m not too worried. I’ll get rid of it asap, but at least I can use it, since it has important school stuff.

Been struggling with Security Tool virus for a few days, am stomped atm. I am running windows vista.

I know that this is a virus or malware. I have a virus protection but it hasn’t caught this. I don’t know how to get rid of it. Can I backup my computer on an external hard drive or will the virus get downloaded on my hard drive? Please Help! Thanks!

on a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rank the public’s knowledge on computer / internet security??

ten being most

Is it entertaining, stressful, rewarding, etc. any details are greatly appreciated

personal security anti-virus popped up, scared me to death, I apparently installed but did not purchase. I researched it on my iphone and found it was a scam. Wish I would have done that before installing it. Now I get pop-ups and blocked sites galore. I hate these jerks!

My computer’s personal security shows that there are many virus and threats in my files, but my anti-virus software didn’t find any viruses. Someone help! Thx~

I have MSE installed - also have AVG. Maybe can’t have both and expect my computer to maintain its speed?
