    "I have taken over your computer"
    and i cant do any thing but click ok so i do
    then it says
    "You are lucky you have kaspersky i am uninstalling that tho"
    i click okay
    then it says
    "You will regain control in a little bit But until then i will see wat other impornt stuff u have"

    It sounds like your run-of-the-mill virus. Sometimes virus-makers tell the virus to do those pop-ups just to scare the victims.

    I wouldn't know the specifics, but I know that sometimes, a virus program may not pick up every virus. That's why it's a good idea to have two virus programs to get rid of the hard to get viruses.

    dont run 2 virus programs on your computer.the conflict issues may far outdo any virus you may have.you can run more than one firewall,adware,malware,spyware programs,but just one virus program.

    use this free program when you surf the internet. I use it anytime I surf the internet, it will seperate your hard drive from the internet. If you download a virus/malware it won't get into the hard drive. A reboot will get rid of the virus/malware. This program will protect you even from the unknown virus/malware that might get pass your antivirus suite.

    Also use the free "macrium reflect" to backup your c: partition. That way you won't have to spend hours reinstalling windows, just restore the backup which can take 20 minutes and you will be good to go.
