Here we go...

I was delayed for a bit because of a problem. My computer was recently taken over by a virus- one that acts like an anti virus program and basically holds the machine hostage until you ransom it by buying Full Protection... The only way to stop, it seemed, was to reboot my system. I pretty much lost everything on it. Has anybody had this happen?

Pop your system into safe mode, run MalwareBytes, Spybot Search and Destory and C Cleaner, once you've tested all those and it cleans whatever virus you have, restart and you'll be set.
