hi, today after i ran a scan with my malwarebytes, it said i had 2 trojans, after i deleted them i got a windows popup saying that some files were corrupted and had to be replaced. the trojans were called "FAKE.trojanalert" or something like that, one of the infected files said it was with my mcafee, which will no longer load when i bring it up, it just freezes, also there are a number of sites i cant go to including my email inbox.

im afraid to shut off computer as im sure it wont work again, so plz respond quickly

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.
