Anyone good with computers!?

EDIT: Ran the computer in safe mode and solve everything from there. Now running my antivirus software just in case so I'm still on this laptop but it's all fine now :'D
BEWARE OF THE ANTIVIR VIRUS PEOPLE 8|

My computer has just suddenly gone haywire on me, it was all really sudden as well.

For some reason, Anivirus decided to scan, I didn't even know

Sounds like you've got a virus there, quite a bad one too. Possibly a rather nasty Trojan D:
I take it the scan from something that you don't have on your computer? That may have caused it. Try running your actual antivirus. If you don't have one, I suggest getting one asap. Norton Antivirus or MacAfee tend to be recommended I think. MacAfee is the cheaper option. But definatly run an antivirus program that you know and trust.

Yeah, I found out that there really is a thing called the "Antivir virus".
My antivirus is Avast which a few of my friends said were tustworthy but it's not doing anything.

I did use to have Norton but it expired and it's too costly to renew it. MacAfee was recommended by my cousin and I have it on my laptp but not on my computer =_=; He gave us a disc with it on but I can't remember what I did with it D:

Currently looking up tutorials on YouTube on how to remove it as a friend had it and she just sytem restored (which I can't do), but she said that there was a way to remove it without system restoring... I'm just finding out that way...

Hmm, removing it yourself might take some time, and there's a lot of lingo that might loose you, I've never tried because of that. Also I've heard that it's quite tricky. People who are complete whizzes at comps tend to do it. So be careful if you try and make sure you don't make a mistake :s

Ahhhh, I've just fixed it by using system restore in safe mode... Although now I'm running a full avast scan to be on the safe side (as the virus seemed to disabled any programs, including antivrus softwares!)

Now your computer seems to be back for the moment, install a copy of AVG (just google it), its a free anti-virus software that weve been using around the school that seems to do a good job.
(Helped us stop a virus that our regular software didnt pick up)

Cant comment on how good it is on the long-term though.

Hmm really? Thanks! I'll give it a go!
Might download it on my laptop too as there seems to be problems with my laptop now ^^;
