Good day,
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
I was browsing the internet using internet explorer 8 and all of the sudden my applications closed and my background went black. All of my programs in my taskbar are gone. No programs on my Start menu as well. I can't see any folders on my drive: C as well.
And then there is a pop up program "SMART Check" telling me that my hard disk failed and giving me a lot of errors. It also added an icon on my desktop "Data_Recovery".
I searched the web on how I can remove this virus and I found one: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/how-to-remove-s-m-a-r-t-check/
I followed the instructions and the virus is still there when I tried to restart my computer.
Now, almost all of the time I'm getting redirected to a unknown website whenever I try searching on google.
Please let me know how we can get rid of this virus and I appreciate the help in advance!
Thank you,
