Q. I have one of those fake FBI lockdown viruses and I don't have money for an antivirus software right now. I have scanned with SpyHunter but the files are in a directory I can't access (assuming that's the nature of the beast), and have also found two folders that I can't access despite being an administrator. However, I have heard that the files I found myself may be just prefference files. I assumed they were corrupted because I could not open them and their names are random letters and symbols. I need a way to get rid of this virus, so can anybody help me out?

Killbox could not delete the folders.

To plan your computer, open a word document, go on line to a computer part store.
Start with a case, select one, copy item name and paste on document, copy the URL, WEB site where you are at, paste at top of document.
Copy the picture and paste, copy specs and paste last copy/type the price. safe doc as, 'My First Computer.
Do the same for every item you must buy to build your computer. Throw the items in the basket while you are at it, that gives you the cost for your dream!
Do this at other sites, that way you can compare prices. Send me your e-mail and i will send you a reference example.

System Protection Program came up on my laptop and i need my valid key, and i cant remeber it,what do i do?
Q. I need the valid key word or code to remove viruses but i don't know what it is, so can someone tell me how to get it, thank you!
A. System Progressive Protection is a computer infection from the Rogue.WinWebSec, http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Rogue%3aJS%2fWinwebsec family of rogue anti-spyware programs. This program is classified as a rogue because it deliberately displays false scan results, hijacks your computer so that you are unable to run your normal applications, and displays a constant stream of fake security alerts that state your computer is infected. This rogue is distributed via three methods. The first method is hacked web sites that contain malicious code that attempts to exploit vulnerabilities on a visitors computers. If it can successfully exploit a vulnerability it will install the program without your permission or knowledge. The second method is through the use of fake online anti-malware scanners that pretend to scan your computer and then state you are infected. It will then prompt you to download System Progression Protection. The final method this rogue uses are Trojans that pretend to be software required to view an online video.
First need to reboot your computer into Safe Mode with Networking.
To do this, turn your computer off and then back on and when you see anything on the screen, immediately start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. Eventually you will be brought to a menu similar to the one in the pic below
