Okay, so my laptop had a problem that I kinda don't Know what it is. I was on Sonic Retro, looking at the Game Secrets section. Then, I see a message about a program that couldn't open. I ignored it, but then, I tried to open my virus software, Webroot. Well, the same type of message up, and it said there was a virus. This happened on almost every program I tried to open, even Scratch! Now I reset my computer, and that isn't happening anymore. But what virus WAS that? hmm

Ah. The infamous Tool. You havd to get on anoth internet connected device and google it.
It'called Security tool.
It's a fake virus tool that makes you pay to get rid of a nonexistent virus.
Google it.
I had it once.

Let me explain it.
It's a fake antivirus thing that got into your laptop when you downloaded something
It says you have a virus when you really don't, and th make you pay money to remove the fake virus.
Get on another device, and google "how to remove security tool".
