Virus & Spyware
I clicked on a link and a program downloaded in my computer. I tried deleting the downloaded and I thought I did it successfully until some pop ups began showing on my computer. Whenever I access the internet, I just see popups about adverts and other downloads that I do not understand. Help me clean it up

I think my PC needs to be cleaned because many pages are loading in a very weird manner. Even secure pages like Hotmail and gmail do not look like the original pages do. I believe this is a virus intended to steal my login information. I have updated the sysinfo and now I would like to know how I can clean the computer out. I know clean up software may turn out to be virus too so I need genuine help.

I had a malware in my computer but ever since I got rid of it, my internet speeds have become extremely low. I usually have a 45mbps connection but the most that I can see is 5mbps. The other connected devices work fine but mine does not. Before I removed the malware, it was fast but now it is worse. I need your help

My child downloaded a video conversion tool from the internet and with it came other files that were too installed in the computer. I noticed them when I did a PC clean up with an antivirus and deleted all of them (as I thought at the time). However, I now notice some unidentified processes running in the task manager. Whenever I look for them in the programs lists in Windows 8.1, they are not available. Where can I find them? How do I delete them?

I think I clicked on something I had no intention of clicking on in some websites and now it keeps on downloading some random websites that are fake and have suspicious .exe programs. I ran a malware detection tool and I have so far found more than 5 fake programs. Deleting them is of no use since they reappear the moment put on my browser. I do not know why my antivirus does not get rid of these viruses. Will these malware destroy my files? How can I get rid of it?

I have not changed any settings on my computer yet when I log in to the system, I get a message that the certificate has been revoked. This blocks off my internet connection and I cannot access any site. The message reads: Web-shield has been blocked…certificate revoked…idvisitor.slate.com. I understand that this is caused by Avast but I do not understand why. What is a slate problem? Any suggestions on how to remove it since it is very annoying?

I had a virus infection on my PC few days ago and it still is. I need to delete the virus before it would brick up my PC. The virus is located in a subfolder in D:. I came to know this when in opened a folder named NVIDIA but I don't have any GPU. My PC froze after that. When I tried a full system scan with Avast, it shows nothing but still the thing is in D:.
