The other day I was on You Tube and I got a message that popped up from my task bar that said "Warning: Your computer is infected please click here to solve the problem" It looked just like the messages from McAfee, so I clicked it. It definitely was not McAfee. A window popped up that looked like an Antivirus program with a black and yellow shield as the Icon. Then my computer froze and started making a redundant nosie so I powered down and restarted. The Login screen comes up just fine, but when I log in all i get is my desktop image and mouse icon. I can't move the mouse or open anything up, it just sits there forever. Does anyone have experience with this particular virus?

How'd you type this then?

Anyway I would just like to point out for the record your not very bright are you? lol

.....ok that's enough of me demeaning you, I've had my fun, so to your problem.
So when you log in you basically can't do anything at all, and nothing shows up except the desktop image and mouse icon and you can't use the mouse at all...and nothing happens when you use any of the keys on your keyboard?

If that's the case you might be better off and I know it's a drag and annoying but you might have to reinstall your operating system again....I suppose you have windows XP?

Someone might have another idea, but if you can't do anything then what choice do you have.

........Also when you get your comp working again...DON'T click those stupid pop ups.

OK now to get to your issue. Have you tried going into safe mode? do you have a boot disk? do you have a disk with an anti virus program on it?

If you can get to safe mode but dont have an anti virus program go to a friends house(or work pc or diffrent pc in your house) and download Avast! load it on your PC and remove the virus. If you cant do any of the above then your only option is to completly reinstall windows. And i would advise getting Avast mcrappy and norton are horrible.(avast can be dled and used for free, they also have a pay option)

You Americans have no sense of humor....and I also mentioned about reinstalling your system.

.......oh, and only a fool would click those pop ups by the way, so I was only stating a fact.

.....and screw you to..

I believe I said in my post that the message was exactly like the ones that McAfee pops up, it came from the task bar, not an online window. And thanks for the stereotyping, that's refreshing.

"You Americans have no sense of humor".... wow. We must have a sense of humor, we elected Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm)

Take your foreign "values" and "one-world" love fest and stick 'em..... AMERICA is the GREATEST country on the planet!!!
