Hey guys pc noob here. My computer seems to have flagged a virus; I ran a scan with malwarebytes and it yielded 11 infections in the results. Most of these were hijackdisplayproperties. I clicked to remove and it prompted me to reboot my computer.

I did so. When I logged back in my desktop was a black screen and a message came up saying windows explorer had stopped working. Wtf

I googles the problem (on my phone) and some are saying something about false positive or something. How serious is this problem? What do I do?

Halp plz

it seems pretty serious. Can you get into safe mode? Do you have an install disk for your OS? Can you get to the point to select a system restore?

Yeah, I can get into safe mode. I don't have the disk you mention. I think I can do system restore; will that get rid of the virus?

I don't really want to have to buy a new laptop
