    After going to a couple of sites that were "references" here, My computer locked up. Microsoft told me that my computer was infected with "tinibank" or something to that effect. I immediately went down to the bank and it wasn't them. When I got back,
    Amazon had been attempted to be entered three times.

    I suggest you be very careful with "references" that people are entering here.

    I reinstalled Bit Defender Total and it showed nothing and Microsoft showed nothing left.

    "References" cannot infect your computer, unless you allow
    scripting, in which case ANY site can datamine or even install stuff
    on your computer.
    I never allow javascript. Very inconvenient as some sites
    don't work without it. But I consider it aggressive to demand the user
    give up his data.

    I'd download Kaspersky's rescue disk, burn it to a USB drive,
    boot the computer from the USB an run a full scan(might take all night
    - note it does NOT need to be connected to the Internet to work.

    . If you have a rootkit it will disable BitDefender (or the M$
    trash)as it's loaded BEFORE the antivirus.
    If that's too complicated, take it to a tech.

    funny how tommy seems to be the only one who has problems like this,
    despite consistently claiming his AV and anti-malware programs are the BEST!!!!!

    no, tommy, You didn't pick up a virus or malware from any links posted
    here.
