hi. i recently received multiple notifications from norton saying it blocked a certain suspicious.mh690.a which coincided with a incredibly reduced speed and performance of my computer upon installation of a certain guitar pro 5 program. when i checked the task manager to see what's going, a cmd.exe, two rundll32.exes, and three iexplorer.exes were running. also, there was a svchost.exe that was running with more than 100,000 K. i tried to repeatedly end their process trees and to a certain extent, contained the running of programs without my consent while i look for a way to fix it. i already uninstalled the program which caused the problem, stopped the system restore in services, unchecked the newly created tasks to run regedit upon startup (which kept coming back unceremoniously, by the way), and set the security options of internet explorer to high. i cannot perform simple file transfer procedures like copying and pasting to another directory, and all the icons in my taskbar are gone now, except for volume. i'm thinking of installing nod32, spybot s&d, spywareguard, spywareblaster which i got from:

i downloaded hijackthis, but i can't seem to be able to make it work. it says that i may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. due to my paranoia, i still haven't rebooted my pc yet because i think the virus will settle and become more difficult to remove.
please help me.. *sad face*
