I was on the computer last night, and it just shutdown. After rebooting I notice a warning box saying my computer might be at risk. I then started looking into the Start up box, and notice I had this brastk loading at start. Well, at this point I went into regestry and tried to delete, ran my avg, and found more trogans and such. Now I tried to find out information about the infection, and the browsers I use wouldnt let me open anything up. It would just take me to other sites. I can't update avg, it wont really allow me to put anything from web on my laptop. I can put them on the home pc, and transfer them to laptop via geekstick. Please tell me what I should do, I am thanking you in advance for any and all help.
