Virus?

Dahaus07

My Dell got taken over by FBI Cybercrime and wanted $300 sent to paypal.

Could not access anything - even Task Mgr wouldn't work

Had to log in using secondary user account - popped in my Norton CD and it detected some nasty files.

Downloaded power eraser and it removed 6 exe files.

Did Intelligent updater for Norton and now all is fine.

What's up?

I'm afraid I don't understand the question. You got a virus.

I would run a Malware Detector as well as your AV program in Windows Safe Mode (F8 after power on) just to be sure all traces are removed.
