What make you think is virus and not hardware related?
I ended up clicking a friends link they sent me and it ended up downloading some shit and I got the virus, I searched up ways to get it off, but when I tried putting the virus in the trash can it said it couldn't do that. So when i tried restarting it it kept freezing at 62% and I turned it off and tried again. I just know it download Chromium, which quite a few people I guess got a virus from, so I thought that was it, but it was a chrome bar thing that stayed at the top of my computer read as App in Task Manager, it helped when i ended the thing, but it kept multiplying so I ended each one and tried deleting their file, but it wouldn't let me. And I have no idea. I followed what a youtube tech dude did for Chromium. I'm not very techy. Its my only computer and I'm broke as shit and my sis didn't get a warranty for it. I use it for online schooling and I think I'm fucked. I'm desperate to get it fixed. (Apologies for my language though. I'm freaking)

Questions.
1. What did you do that makes you think you (or your sister) got a virus?
2. Have you dropped the computer?
3. Did you shut it off when it was running updates?
4. What did you delete and what did you download?
5. Do you see any error codes?

Try going into Safe Mode
STEP 1
Restart the Acer Aspire netbook by pressing the “power” button on the netbook's keyboard or by pressing the “CTRL,” “ALT” and “DEL” keys at the same time.
STEP 2
During startup, hold down the “F8” function key immediately when you see the “Acer” splash screen and the option for entering “Setup.”
STEP 3
Keep pressing the “F8” key until the “Advanced Boot Options” menu appears. If you receive a “keyboard error,” restart the Acer Aspire and repeat step 2.
STEP 4
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the “Safe Mode” selection on the “Advanced Boot Options” menu. The arrow keys are located on the right-hand side of the Acer Aspire keyboard.
STEP 5
Press the “Enter” key to execute the “Safe Mode” selection. The Windows operating system will now start in “Safe Mode” and you can perform a system restore or make needed changes to get your Acer Aspire to boot normally again.
