It got infested with viruses and it keeps complaining that EVERY
website is harmful to my computer. Now I am forced to use the Internet on my Wii. So here I am typing on my Wii...My computer keeps sending me to a site asking for credit card details so I can buy virus protection. I don't know if I can edit wikis anymore. My computer doesn't even let me use Safe Mode, one of its programs I actually used to FIX my computer! So yeah, pretty much it...I'm not expecting anyone to give credit card details though! :angel:

If you can manged to get someone to burn you an Ubuntu disk you could at least make use of the LiveCD functionality to use the internet even if you don't have much access to your old stuff.

Ask your parents or a computer-savvy friend, maybe?

My computer-savvy sister did fix my computer by booting Ubuntu on it once... but I don't exactly know how she did it.
Maybe you could ask your parents or a computer-savvy friend to boot Ubuntu on your computer.

I do have a friend who knows what to do. Meanwhile, I'm stuck creating stuff for my PokéFanon Wikkii. I've created 25 Pokémon so far. I also created northern versions of Shellos and Gastrodon. Sucks editing wikis on the Wii...

This is true. Does anyone know if Wii supports usb keyboards yet?

When I downloaded the Internet Channel a few days ago (my Wii broke, I bought a new one, and I didn't bother to download it until then), it said you could use a Wii Remote or a "standard USB keyboard". So I guess it would work.

Would a wireless Logitech USB keyboard work?

I don't know if a wireless one would work. But i don't think it would hurt to try it out.

I never thought of using a USB Keyboard. Maybe I should get it for Christmas. Then I could just use it for AC:CF once my laptop's fixed. I also found out I have ONE virus that says I have many viruses. It blocks off EVERY site except for a site where I can buy the trickster's software to "safely" remove the "viruses". I must enter credit card details so they STEAL the credit card. Should I just trust Best Buy and pay $200 to get my computer as one of my 3 wanted Christmas presents (Piano, finding my lost puppies *sniff*, and computer fixed)?

It could be related to this and this. Bulbapedia was affected.

I use my wireless Logitech USB keyboard, so yeah it does.

WOT. It helps know which sites to trust and which not to trust.
