hi, my boyfriend's computer got infected with a virus called "downloader.misleadapp". first his anti-virus programs didn't catch it, and when it did it wouldn't delete it. i looked online to try and help him get rid of this thing, but nothing seemed to work. he tried rebooting his comp in safemode, but everytime he reboots his computer the virus just infects more. it is displaying gross pornographic pictures as it flashes, WARNING YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN INFECTED.

if there is anything that you can do to help that would be wonderful. cause this is a household computer that gets used a lot.

thanks!

(PS he uses Windows XP)
