my comp was over 5 yrs old and started getting viruses. instead of buying  an anti virus , for my  birthday on oct 3 2024 i bought a new one from amazon. thinking that this one would be good for 5 years also and by that time i would be dead. i am 68 yrs old and disabled so there is not much i can do in life now so i play games on my comp and watch crime on utube. yester day  my new comp stated flashing boxes coming up so fast that it took me awhile to see that i was getting viruses and being hacked. went to walmart to get an anti virus they quit selling them because going online is how its done. so i tried to buy one online but the boxes are coming and coming up and i cant get in so now i have 2 comp's that i cant use because of this problem so i am not comp literate and dont know what to do. i am so disapointed with this whole mess. cant afford to get another one that after 6 months i cant  use it. this is all i have in life that i can do. maybe someone knows what to do about this. thank you and i dont even  know what i need in order to get rid of virus trojans and hackers
