Every once in a while I get stuck in a "Warning....registry virus error..."
It stops everything on SM.
SM does not respond. Can't get out.
Says I have to call some 800 number to get my computer back - big long
worded thing that repeats itself.
I have been able to get out only by repeated ALT-F4 and restarting
Windows (XP) and then after a while of that, by clicking on the icon
below and clicking "Close". I can't remember exactly what I do, but
eventually it goes away.
Is this the "Extortion Virus" thing out of Russia I have heard about ?
What is the best way to get out of it ?
BTW - I can't find any FREE virus checkers that work in XP. My computer
is too old to run the new Windows.

Time to buy a newer one? Goodwill has used computers at reasonable prices.
You could probably get one with Windows 7.
You could also (clears throat) switch to Linux.
