Hey y'all. Don't eff with me, I'm drunk, but somehow i got this virus called brontok something screwin with my computer while I'm trying to enjoy pounding a few brewskis and jammin to some old Guess Who tunes. Are Burton Cummings and Randy Bachmann the coolest rock and roll dudes ever or what? Anyway, A while back somebody posted 3 or 4 essential free virus protection programs or whateve the hel you call them and I'm hoping one of them wil rid me of this pest. A little help?

You have a very, very, very, very, serious problem, but you’ll be sober in the morning.

I’ve seen some people use Avast (anti-virus), Malewarebytes, and CC Cleaner together. They’re free.

Do a system restore to a date before you had this problem. Then think about getting anti-virus software.

Just type “anti-virus software” into Google and you’ll find all kinds of suggestions.

Have another brew and go to bed, you'll be fine in the morning, :)

Winston Churchill was once accused by Bessie Braddock of being drunk, the exchange went something along the lines of:

Bessie: “Winston, you are drunk.“

Winston: “My dear, you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly.“

I’m no expert, but I’m a big fan of Malwarebytes. It’s free to download, and free to use. Use it to scan your computer.

Once you’ve got everything fixed, set up their anti-exploit program. It runs in the background. It’s free also.

I’ve used Malewarebytes to save a machine. Thanks for mentioning the name, for the life of me I couldn’t recall it.

Well I would say set it out and run it over with your truck but you probably ought not to be driving either.
