I was on YouTube looking for a certain file, and came across it. I downloaded it and it was a .RAR file. I clicked on it and inside it had an application called "install.exe". I clicked it and it brought up some errors and closed everything that I had opened, including my computer. After this it restarted, but came up with a window similar to the one that pops up when you open an administrator program and it asks for the admin password. This said the following:



Window name: User Account Control



Message: THIS COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED

PROGRAM NAME: INSTALL.EXE

VERIFIED PUBLISHER: UNKNOWN

FILE ORIGIN: HARD DRIVE ON THIS COMPUTER.



To continue, type an administrato password and then click Yes.



(A Windows 7-like profile picture appears with the word admin next to it and a text box under it)



Under the text box there are two buttons.



"Get Password" and "Unlock".



Pressing Unlock will do nothing but pressing Get Password will bring me to a site called "gotlinks.co/2zCz", but since I use a mobile internet modem that needs to be started via a separate program, couldn't even use the internet.



I can't use the computer at all since it just throws that screen there whenever I try to start.

Also I have downloaded the farbar thing but for some reason my computer doesn't show the "repair my computer" selection when I try the F8 advanced menu



Help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks.

(And yes I did copy this from someone else from this site that had a similiar problem last month and am using my SISTER's laptop to even post this :I)

Download attached fixlist.txt and save it to your USB flashdrive as fixlist.txt

>> Boot into Recovery Environment


Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....
  • Press the Fix button once and wait.
  • FRST will process fixlist.txt
  • When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt on your USB flashdrive.


>> Exit out of Recovery Environment and post me the log please.



Try to boot Windows normally...
