My computer got one of those "Rogue Antivirus" viruses, so I'm using my laptop until I'm positive the virus is gone.
I friggin hate this virus, but at least no damage is done until you give them credit card information. I don't have a credit card, or money for that matter, so they couldn't get me, ha ha ha. It wouldn't let me open any programs like AVG, so I just switched to safe mode, and ran AVG scan, and now I'm hitting it with Malwarebytes.
It beats the shit out of the nasty virus I got the year before last. That virus forced me to reformat. I doubt I could handle that virus with all the knowledge I've gained since. That virus was vicious, and I've done everything I can to prevent another one like it.
I got that on my emulated Windows on my Mac once. Really annoying. I read that a lot of people don't mind paying the $29.99 to get there computer back, so they just do it. Yay! Way to support the assholes who do shit like that! Fortunately, being emulated, I just loaded up an older save state prior to getting the virus. But I did play around with it a bit first, that thing was brutal. I usually have no problem getting rid of viruses, that thing tied my hands in ever possible way I could think of.
