So my computer is kinda old and is clearly dying but I think this is a virus issue. My compute which is very old has been acting up a lot recently. For example something happened to my video card which from research the only known solution was to uninstall it. Needless to say my computer has been running very slow. I was recently surfing the web when my computer froze (as it often does) but this time it wouldnt unfreeze after a minute so I ctrl alt del my firefox. The second I did windows internet security kept going nuts every time i clicked firefox it would say I had a virus on firefox and wouldnt let me open firefox then it would scan and say i had like 20 different viruses, it was a total pain. Every time I tried to turn it off it would say I needed to pay to do that so it was just an endless circle. Some how I managed after three scans with ESET nod32 antivirus to get rid of it or so I thought.
Now my problem is pretty much any application I try and use it will say no longer exists. For example clicking on firefox it will ask me what I want to open up firefox.exe with, I click open with firefox and then after like 3 error messages it will open firefox. The same thing with internet explorer, and itunes. I tried downloading a file from firefox to update firefox thinking i needed to update it. But when i download the file windows says the file does not exist even though it is right there on my desktop. Itunes I can only open by clicking a song, I even went into the cdrive then to program files, itunes and when I click on the application from there it shows the C://desktop..../programfiles/itunes does not exist.
Help?
Thanks for just reading all of that
