Is all fair in pop-ups and war?

by kirk227 . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I visited Kaspersky.com about 6 months ago and starting instantly I began getting about 50 pop-ups daily, in Russian. Not being fluent in the language I couldn’t get rid of them. I spent days sifting through my registry. When I finally found where they hid the insidious files, I decided to unhide some of the hidden files. Somebody took serious revenge for it and destroyed my OS. I had to do a total format and I lost important stuff. The culprit wouldn’t email me so I could have my say. He or she would write nastygrams and they’d pop up in word pad, note pad, you name it. I was the one who’s computer was invaded. If a file is on my computer shouldn’t I be able to do as I please with it? I didn’t request anything. I only glanced at the site. Who is in the wrong here?
