    Started telling me I had spyware so I powered off my PC confused,help?


    So like I said I obviously have a virus it started telling me that. I powered off my PC and when I tried to log back on it said something about an invalid handle.

  2. spyware and unwanted software protection

    I keep trying to turn on virus protection because the message "spyware and unwanted software protection" keeps appearing, and it tells me to start now on so I turn it on and 3 seconds later it turns off automatically and says my PC is at risk. Did anyone
    have this problem? What did you do? And should I take it to get checked out?

    Hi CRDC and welcome to Tenforums.

    Please describe what exactly was "telling you" you had spyware? Were you on a web site/browsing the web and a popup appeared?

    Can you try booting into Safe Mode and restoring your computer to a point in time before this infection?
    See Option #1 here:
    Safe Mode - Start Windows 10 in - Windows 10 Forums
