I have never posted to receive help before, but I need help more than ever now. I have some sort of program that is infecting my computer. It has replaced my old wallpaper on my desktop with some cryptic message that portrays itself as a warning. When I get on IExplorer the home page is a blue page that reads a similar warning. the address is as follows: C:\WINDOWS\secure.html. Also there are some links that possibly lead to e-shredder.com at the bottom though I have not dared to click on them. If anyone can help me with my dilemna, I would appreciate it. Please let me know what information you need and i will gladly provide it. Thank you in advance.
