Hi guys,
Hope someone can help me here.
I was sent a notification email from facebook to say that a friend of mine had joined a group (if 100,000 people join i will show my boobs) and it was inviting me to join. I clicked on the group and there was a weblink with a .zip file. Now I feel really stupid because i clicked on the link and actually tried to open the zip file. Bad move, I don't know what possessed me. The thought of boobs probably!
Anyway since then things have happened progressively. At first it just shut down all my programs and then the computer rebooted. And then rebooted again. and again. There was a moment where a msg came up saying a program was trying to close. If I didn't close it the computer would stay on but when browsing no gif's or pictures would load unless i right clicked and selected show picture.
I pulled the network cable from the port on the back of the machine and rebooted the computer. It worked normally until I plugged the network back in. Then all the rebooting started again.
I found this website and thought I would join and ask the question. However to join I had to go through a few steps and the computer was getting worse and worse.
Finally now it only starts in safe mode. If I start in normal mode it just reboots and reboots. Windows doesn't even finish loading now. Even in safe mode, if I start with networking and go to say google for example, the moment I try to type something it closes the window.
I then pulled that hard drive out and switched back to an older one to get back online and post this thread.
What can I do if anything?
What is this, a virus or something else? I have a copy of the zip file if needed.
I appreciate any help and thank you in advance.
