but now I am having another problem that seems rather odd.
I followed your tutorial on removing the Antivirus Live malware. It seemed to have worked until it came down to the restarting part. The program said that it needed to restart, so I agreed... and then Windows posted an error message saying it couldn't be done... So I restarted it myself... and now when I start up in regular mode, I get a blank grey screen. So I panicked, and came back to safe mode and here I am... and running another scan (a full one this time). It's been running for over a half an hour now and still hasn't found anything.
I am hoping this was just a fluke and my computer hasn't been irreparably damaged in this process. I followed your instructions completely. I tried restarting twice in regular mode and both times it came up grey.
Oh, Geek Police. Can you help me?
I am running Windows Vista on a crappy Dell Inspiron 1525.
