Hello !

So the thing is that, I cant go to windows update it wont work. It just puts a blank site. And the second thing is that when i go to example in to "my documents" it says this in a popup: "Attention administrator, Some dangerous viruses detected in your system. Microsoft Windows XP files corrupted. This may lead to the destruction of important files in C:\Windows. Download protection software now! Click ok to download the antispyware."If i click no (Of course no), it goes to some weird videocodec site.

Need help to resolve this ! :/
