Hello
I need some help. My daughter seems to have downloaded unknown bad things to my computer. Something called dregol opens in chromium as soon as the computer is started up. Then something called 360 total security seems to be running all the time and blocking me from doing almost anything. I tried to follow the instructions in the read before you post, but it blocked the downloads and I was afraid to click on the message when it wanted me to say allow or deny. It has restarted my computer twice since I turned it on tonight. Also I am getting constant popups, one even pretending to be spybot.
I was able to complete the download and the registry backup. It will not let me Farbar Recovery or aswMBR to download without 360 total security from blocking it.
Please let me know what I can do to get my computer back!
Thanks
The 360 program you talk about, is it one of these?
Qihoo 360 Internet Security
Norton 360 Internet Security
