2012 virus XP? Trojan?

Post by terenkleon »

My dad was using my computer, and when i went to use it, this virus xp thing popped up. I clicked it out once, but it started popping up a few other times so i just shut my computer off. I turned it back on and it seems to be working fine.. Could there be a virus festering within my computer without me knowing?
