    yep, why they changed computing to technology is beyond my logic...

    if the above doesn't work, try scnning the above in safe mode (press F8 while windows splash comes up), that will kill most viruses.

    if not that, tell your friend to back everything up on cd/dvd abnd reformat...

    that alert in and of itself is just adware. see hwo it wants you to buy their product?

    i don't think its is too serious, but again could be.
