My computer all of the sudden is telling me I have infected exe files and to activate a antivirus software but I don't know where that came from and I don't want to give it my credit card number but I can't seem to get rid of all of these pop ups. I know one other time someone told me how to make your computer go back to a previous time and it fixed my computer. Obviously I am not very computer literate. Please help...I have a gateway computer with windows vista home premium I believe on it. Thank you in advance for any and all help you have for me...Michelle
