Okay, my computer is completely blocked out by the virus, but thankfully two other computers in this house are here to use.
I found out that I have the security suite virus, and it's not destructive, but it is annoying and needs to be removed.

I can't buy anything, because obviously i'm not of age, but I just need some simple steps to get rid of this.


Even if you could help by looking up the virus and explaining the steps to me, I'd appreciate it.

Ughhh D:

This seems like it explains how to remove it somewhat well:

thank you a ton, pain. :3
I am currently scanning my lappy with the malware program and everything like it said and seems to be doing good-knock on wood-. No complications. I didn't see the actual removal instructions on that website when I checked it out.

And I currently have 5 infected objects. xD
cross our fingers that this works all the way!

They're a little down there. A bit before the second picture.
But if you were able to run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware? I think most of the steps are to stop the operation of the virus so it will allow you to install and use the anti-malware program, so hopefully you can get if off then.

I accidentally got something like this, if not the same thing. Luckily, I was at my dad's, so he fixed it. xD
