Ok so I have been reading through these forums for a couple of days but I think I am out of luck. I seem to have all three of these viruses. Here are my problems: I cant access the internet on the infected PC, I cant run any problem or anything like that, and I cant even boot my computer in safe mode.
I was only able to access the internet for about one day after getting the virus. However now it is completely cut off. Therefore I cant get onto this site to download 'HijackThis' and what not. I tried installing the malwarebytes, HijackThis, and Exehelper onto a flash drive but it still will not let me run them on the infected PC. I tried changing file names etc but that did not work. It just keeps saying application cannot be run because it is infected blah blah. So basically I cant run anything.
When I try booting my computer in Safe Mode, I can get to the advanced options menu, select any of the 'Safe Mode' options and hit enter but everytime I do that, it restarts itself and keeps bringing me back to the same menu.
What is the next step here? Can I try to get a windows xp recovery cd or some kind of boot up cd and try to restore the pc to 'like new' I tried running other CDs but it wont let me so I dont know if those will even work.
Am I completely screwed here or what?
Thanks for the help.
