Virus or Spyware? Would someone please help me!

by cbeal11 . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

While in a transitional period between ISP’s I decided to try PeoplePC for 5.99 per month.

Soon after installing it on my computer I received several blue screen warnings (they were bluescreen messages not system blue screens) regarding spyware, they came from Internet Explorer. After about the fourth warning, I was unable to get online. When you click the internet Explorer icon, the computer shuts down and upon start up I get a black box that says:

C:\Winnt\system32\svchost.exe
The following command was not found: firewall set allowed program % system root% \system32\scvhost.exe enable. On top of all of this, the computer won’t shut down the normal way, I have to shut it down by turning off the power strip.

Does anybody know if this is something that can be fixed or has my computer been destroyed?
