Hi, I downloaded Iwin games onto my computer and luckily I had AVG free which caught the virus before it infected my whole computer. However after I caught the virus I couldn't go on to the internet. I could only use it if I ran as an administrator. I had this problem before and I went on every possible website to find a solution, but nothing worked. My friend suggested I just restore my whole computer. When the second time came around I just restored my computer.Are there other possible options I could have done? Thanks.
