What? Good Grief..are you speaking of the FreeRip software? I’ve recommended this software to many people.. I’ve never seen anyone have these problems before..the FreeRip site is GOOD..it does not give viruses to anyone.

Unless.. you’ve accidentally come across one of these fake Anti Virus websites; that is actually a VIRUS itself, that demand payment to wipe the viruses; these pages simply seem to “pop up” out of the blue.;...I hate to say it, but the guys who created this software should be hung first, then shot..they cause so much grief to many unsuspecting people. (my Mother was one of ‘em.. she had no idea what to do - I had to fix it for her )..

The best thing to do is download ANTI MALWAREBYTES (a free software - http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free ) then run it in safe mode..it may take running the software 2 or 3 times to completely wipe this nasty stuff from your computer)

BUT ..if you’ve run into a page that just finds viruses on your computer.. you MAY be able to simply run your TASK MANAGER, then click “END TASK” to stop the page from running..BUT this has to be done IMMEDIATELY once you see this webpage come up (don’t click the “x” at the right hand top of the webpage; it won’t cause the page to go away) .. I HATE these scams.. they cause so much trouble.

But, the FreeRip page does NOT offer this type of software.. it simply offers a free version of their software, and a PRO version that is being sold there. BUT the webpage itself does not sell Anti Virus software..

These things happen to the best of us, even if you have good anti virus software installed.. and this stuff is VERY difficult to get rid of.. if you have any problems getting this nasty stuff off your computer.. please call someone you know who is more computer literate than you are..who will know the steps to take to rid your computer of this nasty stuff..

I’m very sorry that this has happened to your computer.. BUT the webpages that I’ve recommended do NOT contain trojans or viruses of any sort.
