Hey man, it can still happen. These fake-antivirus-viruses are pretty sneaky and pretty vicious.

Very true, I'd be lying if I said that I haven't reformatted my computer due to virus' that I wasn't able to tame. However, with a bit of skepticism and common sense I've managed to stay away from sketchy programs, and I rarely have virus problems.

My advice: Try running your virus scanners and whatnot in safe mode. Also, it wouldn't hurt to do a disk check when you're dealing with malware, open up your command prompt and type:
Code:
chkdsk /f
It'll probably say something about not being able to unlock your C: drive or some BS when you're booted up and ask if you want to do a check on next start up. Confirm that you do. Also might wanna clean your registry and whatnot as well. I've found that with:

Defraggler
CCleaner
Spybot
Avast

I can keep my PC running pretty smooth, while rarely reformatting.
