Well I got a page on my laptop stating that I have a virus and that my computer was locked. I don’t know what to do now. If I shut down the laptop and reboot, the pop-up warning comes back up and I can’t get the message off the screen. I ran Norton scan but it found nothing. I also went to manage add-ons and tried to disable something malicious but it didn’t help at all. I can’t surf Internet on Internet Explorer now. What do I do to get rid of this?
