i desperately needed to download Microsoft 2013 [because the FLOP 2010 student set didn't have publisher ] and i didn't have the money to buy it officially so i illegally downloaded it using some shady programs!

the program has successfully been installed... i thought everything was normal but now everytime i go on a forum and try to click something an extra tab opens up with multiple adverts [gambling/****/gaming etc]

im now scared to use ebay/facebook/amazon because im afraid they're gonna steal my details, can anyone who's been in a similar situation help me?

Girl who gets a virus in 2015?

This'll get closed but

Look up how to reset your computer to an earlier date. You can do it from your control panel so it shouldn't be hard

DELETE IT, FAT!
I can help!

Don't pirate software!



Try to see if any odd programs are installed. Look for names like on the tabs.

Download AVG FREE and do a scan.

Time for a new laptop sis

Good luck

Go to your nearest A&E!

idk i think it might be a malware actually. i dont have a antivirus program because i usually dont surf shady sites, so this is a first

This is the best solution.

But yeah I would restore to an earlier date before you downloaded anything.

OMG you are who virus creators target.

This should save your ass if thats the case, you can download it for free.

Play Lotus for it. It will get better.

ok i'll try it thanks!

if i reset it will the programs i downloaded be gone as well?

The first thing you should do when you get any device is put an antivirus on it

Try the reset to another date suggestion or this to do a sweep: https://www.malwarebytes.org/

PLEASE get an antivirus.

You have this issue and you're concerned with saving the programs?
