Dalelksfearme,    sorry to see this happen to you.       Being that I have at least a couple of your videos in my ZooTube favorites,    I noticed that your account no longer existed.    Thanks for letting us know what happened.    I hope everything works out well for you despite this horrible situation.

I got flagged by my anti virus software that a serious problem had occurred. My Bosses husband works with computers and he was willing to come over to see what he could do. I think that he was able to minimize the damage, but on his advice, I closed out my youtube and some other accounts just to be safe.

He did not think that the virus was directed at me personaly, but just something that might have been hidden in an email.

Install avast antivirus, download the update, and then, when it asks you if you'd like to do a boot time scan, say YES, then restart your computer, when your computer boots, but before windows starts, the antivirus will scan your computer and delete any viruses, trojans, or malware before it has a chance to launch with Windows. http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html (excellent antivirus and free for home use)

I also recommend you download a copy of Trojan guarder, get the update for that, and run a full scan with it. http://download.cnet.com/Trojan-Guarder-Gold/3000-2239_4-10165573.html?tag=mncol
(Trial software, us it for free until the trial runs out, then buy or uninstall)

After your computer is clean, download all the Windows security patches, make sure the Windows firewall is on, and then go get a small physical firewall to go between your computer and the internet, linksys makes lots of inexpensive ones.
