    My sister has a bit of an issue. She was using Sidereel and a warning popped up that it has been detected that she's been looking up child pornography. Whenever she restarts, she gets a log-in screen for the internet server she's using. (She's using a network in student accomodation in London). Task Manager won't come up, and she can't get access to any programs.

    Any ideas?

    do it through safe mode with networking **malware is very tricky and will do its best to stop you from getting rid it,ie downloading and installing anti malware,if you dont know how to access safe mode restart youre mahine and hit either f8 or f10 pending on her machine
