I HOOKED UP MY DESKTOP TO MY LAPTOP TO USE MY WIFI ABILITIES FOR THE DESKTOP. 4 HOURS LATER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY DESKTOP COMPUTER BEING ABNORMALLY SLOW; SO I REBOOTED THE SYSTEM THINKING THAT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

WHEN I REBOOTED THE COMPUTER I HAD A "F.B.I. VIRUS" ON THE SCREEN AS SOON AS IT ENISUALIZED. I PULLED THE ETHERNET CORD OFF MY LAPTOP SO THAT MY LAPTOP WOULD NOT BE INFECTED AS WELL... I WENT STRATE TO BITDEFENDERS SYSTEM CHECK AND RAN SYSTEM CHECK 4 TIMES [WHICH TOOK OVER 24 HOURS TO DO.] THANK GOD MY LAPTOP WAS NOT HIT...   WHEN I TRIED TO GET PAST THIS VIRUS IT WOULD NOT ALLOW IT....
