I was sitting there doing my homework with firefox minimized on my laptop.
All of a sudden a bunch of stuff crashes and a program called:
Win 7 security
pops up saying I have malware.
I run kaspersky and had run a scan earlier this morning when I was at the gym. No problems.
I think the problem arose when I was updating adobe as that is the only thing I had done recently , but I am never sure.
I was smart enough to realize that it was not a windows program and did not put in my info.

It has taken over my computer , and I cant even use the web browser.

Whats my next move?
Go back to a previous time by restore point?
go through a removal? If so how?
