Recommended Posts

I've got the FBI Green Dot Malware. It came this morning. I've already tried one other fix that has failed. It wouldnt allow/bring up the USB as a boot window.

Will your fix work?

Skip

Sorry, HP Laptop with Vista Windows. I believe it's 32bit.

It took my picture and occasionly goes to a white screen if you are trying to mess with it.

Disregard. I finally got the USB to boot on start-up.
