Hi guys.

Over the past few days I've been encountering a few problem with my PC and was wondering if you could help?

My problem started earlier in the week when I noticed my browser searches were being redirected to other search engines and other websites.

Upon some research I discovered this was a Malware virus.

I ran Antivir , Spybot and also cleaned the registry but the problem still persisted.

I then researched further and found out that " Spyware Doctor " could remove it.

I downloaded the software , ran a check ( and probably stupidly ) purchased the software.

Upon a reboot my PC logged in fine , but then logged straight abck out again.

This was weird as it had never happened before..

For some stupid reason I set a password ( easy to remember ) in a quest to possibly solve the problem.

Now however , when I start up the PC it asks me for my password and I go type it in but my keyboard won't let me type anything and I get the message " System Halted , must shut down "

The only keys I can press are F12.

Is this a common problem ?

Thanks for your time reading this , it's gratefully appreciated.

It appears you may have a malware problem.
