Okay, so last night I had the malicious software virus entitled "West Yorkshire Police", and I successfully was able to remove it. However, even though there was no sign of any problems, one website was down, just one so far, and it was Bulbapedia.

Now, whenever I search on bulbapedia, it gives me the Error 503 message. Now I know it means that the website server is down most likely, but just to be on the safe side, is there still something in my pc even though I scanned it with Malewarebytes and AVG?

Just to clarify, if you can look at bulbapedia (its the pokemon wiki) yourself, and try searching something, and comeback to clarify, i just want to be sure...

just to be safe...start the machine and repeatedly tap the F8 key until the option screen appears and choose safemode with networking then open your browser and go to SAFETY.LIVE.com that is Microsoft's online virus scanner there are others SYMANTEC.com...McAfee.com...after that go to MalwareBytes.org and download their free scanner and run the scan...Avira.com and Kaspersky.com offer free rescue disk just use a clean machine to download and burn the disk set your bios to boot from the cd/dvd player and run the rescue disk before the machine can boot up...to return to safe mode restart your machine
