I got this virus from downloading an album off of bit torrent. The virus is a fake Anti Virus software that downloaded itself. It wont let me open up any programs or download any software to my computer. It wont let me connect to the internet or anything. It keeps saying I need to buy their (anti-virus software) How do I get rid of this insane virus
you’ll have to use another system to download and install an up-to-date antivirus program on a flash drive, optical disc, or other external storage device. Then plug or insert that device in the infected machine and run the AV program from there. One option is the free ClamWin Portable, though many other free AV programs can be installed and run off external media.
Here is a great link to a website/forum that has lots of helpful information and if you can’t find a solution there then just post your question and they should be able to help you out. I have used this site in the past for problems and they have always been very helpful and get back to you pretty quickly too.
