My Computer is Sick
One of my Etsy chatroom acquaintances introduced me to blogtv.com. So I made my own broadcast that worked great the first night. The next night I was tweaking my profile and clicked on a button to put my broadcast in the proper category.
At that moment, my firewall exploded. I've got a doozy of a computer virus. Can't surf the Internet at all. If I open a page, the virus immediately hijacks it and tries to get me to buy some superpro antivirus program. Is that like a tire store slashing your tires to get you to buy new ones from them? I've run over 6 hours of virus scanners, which do find the threats and works to remove them, yet still when I reboot my computer the pop-ups come back insisting my computer's been infected and I must try their program.
Now tons of people on are blogtv.com, so I have to think and hope mine is an isolated incident. I'm on a borrowed computer at the moment and he's forbidden me to go on that blogtv.com site because the last thing we need is another computer with a virus.
So if any of you know a fix, or have that issue, or know how to reach tech support for that company, please share the info in the comment. Thanks.

At this moment, it looks like my computer is going to be okay. I ran Windows Defender again, and also a program called Vondofix. The Windows Defender got rid of the pop-ups on the quick scan. Then when I did the long scan it got rid of 2 more. Maybe the last two, because the vundofix didn't find any new ones. I also cleared my cookies and my cache. I'll let you know if things go belly up again. I'm hoping for the best.
