If you get System Tool on your screen, it will tell you your computer is infected with Trojans and begin running a scan. It wants you to purchase software to remove the Trojans.

DON'T DO ANYTHING TO THE WINDOW. If you do, it will lock up your computer.
Don't close it or cancel it... Don't respond that you are not interested.

The minute you see it on the screen, just hit "Ctrl/Alt/Delete" and choose Task Master, then highlight what ever is running on your computer and end the task. This is what a computer tech told me to do.

I tried "Ctrl/Alt/Delete" after I had tried to close the window and cancel it.

I then tried to go to the Control Panel and uninstall the program.

Too late. It had already locked up my computer.
