Windows Defender Issue???
Okay, at the moment I appear to have two problems with windows 7 It may or may not be due to a virius which I beleive to have. However, Windows Defender will not completely do a "Full Scan", it'll start and look like it is working fine but out of no where, it'll stop. I can't get it to finish after several attempts. I really needed it to scan because I get these notifications type of thing from windows 7 claiming I have like multiple viriuses and such and it freaked me out. And when I try to use scan using windows defender it states that I have like malicious software or something on my computer. I was able to only do a quick scan which had caught two trojan virius type things, but I worry that there might be more lurking about. Also, windows update isn't working. Currently I am trying to download 7 important updates but for the past half hour it still has been at 0%. Any thing I can do? This is very much apprecitated. I am scared out of mind at the fate my computer

It sounds as if you have the "scareware" type of malware that poses with false alerts, then downloads trojans and other malware when you click on it. While Windows defender may stop some, it is not enough. Do you have any other anti-virus programs installed? You need more than just Defender. http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system Go to another computer, a friend's and download and burn the Avira rescue CD. Then boot your computer to that CD and scan. You may want to disconnect the internet cable and copy any important data to external media before you lose it. The fate of your computer is not good. Do you have any complete pc backups or at least Windows backups that are recent before the bad stuff started happening?
