Welcome to Geeks to Go!

Please Click here!, and follow the recommendations in the guide.

If you're still having trouble, We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool, Hijack This. Follow the instructions in step five of this guide, and post your log here.

Most of what Hijack This lists will be harmless AND essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

I'm clicking on the guide. Nothing pops up. It doesn't do anything. Other stuff is happening now. A microsoft window security warning keeps poping up saying that my windows is corrupted with a spyware virus. When i sign on it doesn't take me to my homepage takes me somewhere else. The icons keep losing their pictures and come back. I could be writting an email and it takes me to a website i didnt want to go to. A mcafee window comes up saying i have a virus. I run the scan it doesnt show anything. I'm super lost. Please help.
