-
I had mcafee security center but it expired and now with the virus it wont let me download it again to renew it. The virus has been on my computer for a while but i have found ways to get around it so it hasn't been an issue until now. the virus started by saying i have a threat to my computer and i needed to download a certain software but that was just part of the virus. Mcafee couldnt get rid of it so i just left it there. any ideas on how to download files. dont tell me to download a new saoftware because i can't download anything.

Download Malwarebytes on a different computer and then take a flash drive or some sort and transfer it on your computer. Malwarebytes is free and is by far the best anti-virus thing on earth! Also try going in Safe Mode and then try downloading files. Try renaming your browser to something else in the Program Files folder on your hard drive. Good Luck! If all else fails, back up your files and reformat your computer. Better Suggestion: Get a mac.
I would say malwarebytes. Try going to your local library and downloading it to a flash drive or something. Its a small download (9mb). It helped me in the past with the same problem. Good luck!
