Chris... RegClean Pro is a virus that imitates a computer software scanner to make you believe that there are a ton of problems so that you download it and it infects your computer. It isn't a real service, the company that runs it is illegitimate, and assuming you've downloaded whatever the hell it told you to download, your computer is now actually infected. It's the oldest trick in the book.

As far as I can tell, you've already downloaded the virus wave, so what it's going to do now is install things to f*ck up your computer to try to force you to give it your info and download the 'full-version', which probably won't even solve the problem. The trouble with the virus wave, in this case, is that the typical procedures real programs come with for removal are stripped by the nature of the software (obviously, because it's malware).

If it were me, I use MalwareBytes to scan and kill, but I have the full version, so it depends on how much you're willing to spend and how far this thing has gotten into your computer. Really though, any legitimate anti-malware program will work. If you're having trouble getting a program to actually work, you may want to find someone else to help you out (once again, you'll have to describe to me how far this has gotten).

In the meantime though, you should go to the User Control Panel (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and look through the Task Manager to figure out what it has running in the background, and terminate anything that the fake program is doing. Once you do that, you should be able to go through your computer and, hopefully, uninstall most of the forward stuff. It may take a little while, but if you have a good computer, you can typically find these things and deal with them, especially if you have a good security program as well. No guarantees it will work, there will likely be problems left, but from looking it up this is more the "screwing around for easy money" type of virus then the true evil you could have.

And go to your Control Panel and then Uninstall Programs. Get rid of the malware.

I second this, MalwareBytes really is the best option for protecting your computer from virus' in my opinion.

If it is the oldest trick in the book, I would have to imagine it didn't work well at first before any other viruses actually existed for people to be afraid of.

You knew what I meant.

Virus!

Ah, thanks for the notification. I haven't seen anything wrong with my computer,though. I'll look at my background stuff. I found it when I was downloading Mozilla (recommended by Fang). It was one of the several additional crap that some downloads try to get you to install.

Well if you didn't actually to do anything to download the program onto your computer, you're probably fine. The way you said t, I thought you downloaded it. But yeah, that is definitely a virus... you'll be good if you didn't take it. (and whatever it said about all the problems isn't real)

I actually did download it. It said that it would fix 15 problems for free. I just deleted Regclean and found a bunch of new programs. Luckily, I was smart enough to back up my files before I downloaded Mozilla. Unluckily, the backup program seems to have done absolutely s**t for me.

Trust me, RegClean Pro is illegitimate.
