ok, i was browsing at a familiar site (FF 3.5) when all of a sudden, windows security shield thing popped up and said "you may be at risk; click this balloon" : so i did, and it says windows firewall has been turned off, and recommended turning it back on; I did.
a few seconds later AVG free resident shield pops up and says "Threat detected", and i click on it and it shows 2 trojan horse infections; i removed both of them virus vault;
I could hardly finish doing that, a BLUE screen pops up (whole screen) and says something like "windows has detected a threat and will be shutting down the laptop to protect..." bla bla, i couldn't even read more than 4 lines, (there was more bla bla on the screen) the laptop shuts off, and restarts ..
restarted normal, and gave me the message "the system has recovered from a serious threat (or was it "error"?); want to send error report..?" etc etc ...
Now all works as normal; I went to AVG and emptied the virus vault just now.
doing a manual AVG free scan now.
what was this? is there anything else i should do?
Thanks...
PS: now that i think of it, just before all this took place, i had done a search in google, clicked on one of the links, and noticed that it wasn't loading...and then just clicked on some other link from the search...
