Creatures Caves

Dang that really sucks. What programs are you using to try to fix this? Some programs that say they're antivirus software are actually spyware in disguise, and they will tell you you have more problems than you do and then cause problems and steal your privacy while they pretend they're helping! Always use programs that are well-known, like Stopsign, Malwarebytes or Norton.

Also take careful note of any error messages or warnings you get and look them up online because sometimes they actually come from the virus and it tries to convince you to download more fake "antivirus software" which will just make the problem worse. Usually if you type in the error in quotes in a search engine like Google it will bring up results from other people asking about the same thing and you can see what answers they got.

I recommend downloading Malwarebytes, you can use it for free and it's one of the ones I use and it works really well. You can download it from www.malwarebytes.org and it will scan your computer and find any crap you have on there. It's a good place to start. I'd also recommend something like Stopsign too--it isn't free but you can still scan your computer with it and see if it finds anything. It is worth the money. It's always good to scan with more than one program because they both pick up things the other might miss.

Another thing you need to do, at least for now, is cut back on your online time! Some viruses actually make your computer get worse when you connect to the internet, and if you don't know which web site you're getting this crap from, you risk reinfecting yourself or getting more viruses downloaded to you in the mean time.

Try to figure out where you might be getting this stuff from. Have you gone on any sites that seemed suspicious? Can you pinpoint which site orsites you were visiting when this started happening? Avoid sites that give you popups. Safe sites that won't hurt your computer include Creatures Caves, Creaturetopia and Wikipedia. Sites you should avoid include places like porn sites (obviously), sites that let you download torrents, and even Fanfiction.net (the site itself is okay but their ads can contain malicious programming).

Depending on where this report of 2,000 came from, your problem probably isn't as bad as it says it is. I've actually gotten a message that told me that before, but I only had one on my computer--and that one was giving me the error message, not my computer, because it wanted me to download all its "friends"!

Don't ever download a program that your computer "recommends" to you, although looking them up online to see what people say about them is a good idea. Just be cautious, and always use a reputable program like the ones I mentioned above.
