Vipre Anti virus issues

[Lt.Snuffles]

Vipre all of a sudden has decided to block the opening of quite a few programs recently, branding them all as virus' or Trogans.
Every now and then it would have one message saying that it had blocked the opening of a file (every week/month) but today it has decided to block, as it says 485 in about 10 minutes, with a notification for each one. I'm reasonably sure that not all of these files at least are not virus', as some of the programs that have been blocked are ones that I use regualrly (Left4dead2.exe, for example). In addition to this, my computer is fucking up, as it seems one restart wasn't enough for it: It blue screened about 5 seconds after the desktop loaded and the computer crashed. #
If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, they would be kindly recived.

P.S in the time of writing, the number of blocked files has gone up to 523

It could be that you genuinely do have a trojan...

Alternatively, Vipre is a free program that's lying to you to make you pay for the full version (I've never heard of it so I don't know).

If you want to check, try a different antivirus program and run that for a few minutes instead. I recommend Avast!. It's just... good.

Sounds like you have a worm rather than a trojan (worms dig into your system, cloning themselves and hiding in your files) and there a right b*****d to get rid of, like Tharwen i suggest installing Avast, it's free and works brilliantly (i use the free one myself and never caught a virus which is down to Avast being bad, 1 virus in 4 years aint bad and that was my fault), just make sure you uninstall the old one first AND NEVER EVER have 2 anti virus software at the same time, they will literally fight each other for control, corrupting files as they go, a combination for example an antivirus such as Avast and an anti malware software such as Malwarebytes is fine but say 2 antivirus's such as Norton and Mcaffee will try to destroy each other.

I've also never heard of Vipre so it might be fake, trying to con you into buying it like alot of these system cleaners do.

P.S i'd also recommend a full wipe while your at it, any files you back up put on a flash drive with nothing else on it if possible (effectivly keeping it qurantined) until you get the system back up then you should scan them all before moving or running them.
