Hi, I am in need of help. One day while I was browsing the internet a window popped up looking exactly like a security system. It is called "Vista Security 2012-unregistered version". I believed it because I use Windows Vista Software, so I thought it was legitimate. Anyways I could not have been more wrong. I took my computer to the help desk at my University, where they tried to run the computer in safe mode. The malware is even present in safe mode. It has ruined my computer's capabilities including running Internet Explorer. I am really worried and would appreciate it greatly if someone could help me find a solution to this problem. I am a college student and cannot afford much, so the cheaper the better.

Thanks
