Somebody please help Today my computer suddenly started lagging up when I was looking around in the Chrome web store for games, installed one, and loaded it. My computer's was so loud. I tried scanning my computer with Microsoft Security Essentials because it was laggy with quick scan and to my surprise, I found FOUR viruses (trojans, whatever I was too scared to read them) and IMMEDIATELY removed them. I have no idea HOW much I was hacked. Can somebody please tell me tips on how to recover safely? Thanks By the way, my computer is not so loud once again, but not as quiet as before EDIT: And no, the cause of the virus is not by "those" sites... ... wait. I got it. It might be a Youtube downloader I recently installed. I just unins

Possible Computer Threat I woke up to find my computer on, which was unusual. I turned my monitor and found... I'll say, a very, very inappropriate video... if you know what I mean. I quickly closed the window and noticed my internet didn't work (it said the connection was "Limited" ) and I did a quick scan with MalwareBytes. The scan said there were no malicious items. Then my internet started working again. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? Is it safe to turn off my computer? Should I launch it in Safe Mode? Should I do a full scan? ARGH </3

Computer just quotglitchedquot up. Cause? I just installed the battle.net client (trying out Hearthstone. :3), then things started getting weird. I opened a new tab to find the search bar typing as if I were holding down the "A" button on my keyboard. Sure enough, everything was acting as if "A" was held down. I restarted my computer, and everything's fine. I didn't find any viruses or anything on a quick scan on Malwarebytes, either. Anyone have ideas of why that happened? Thanks
