I keep getting a message saying I have a virus, it's called the "WIN 32/Vundo.A!DOS" virus. It says it will delete all my files and send them to the creator of the virus. Is this true?

Lol, there's no real virus named that, so don't worry about it.

Actually... I just noticed something. The message is in a different language. It says in English "You have a virus, please buy the full version." but in some weird language it says "You have a virus, please buy the full version."

Now my computer won't let me run programs. I can't even open the "Run" window. It says it's searching for viruses.

Now it's saying "Virus has been found", and when I try to delete it, it doesn't work because it says there's still a copy on my computer.

Ahh, your computer's got infected.
Well, I'm not gonna tell you how to fix it, or else I'd get hacked too.

I don't think I downloaded anything new today. I did download something called "Pop-up killer" though. Maybe that was the one that caused this.

Nah, that one's just a free program which makes popups go away.

Maybe the creator of that program made up that virus as an excuse for people to buy his product. I wonder why he would do that if it's such a good program...

You can't actually make a fake virus. It's like trying to fake money.

Oh. Well, my computer is still infected. I can't get on any websites or run any programs because they're all telling me that there is a virus on my computer. What do I do now?

Go to Norton online virus scan and see if it'll find anything.

I can't though. It says I have a virus, so it won't allow me to do anything until I get rid of it. But when I try to delete it, it says it's still there.

I tried uninstalling the program and restarting my computer but it didn't work. Now it says that there is a "system32" virus in my computer. I don't even know what that is...

Well, if you're gonna keep getting infected, I suggest buying some Norton antivirus software.

But I already have "Pop-up killer", which is supposed to be good. Do I need another one?

It's weird because I have never downloaded anything except for Pop-up killer. I'm sure that's not true though. Maybe I got infected somehow while browsing the internet.
