I downloaded the free version of avg awhile ago and am looking to upgrade but
i have a problem, while i was at work my son deleted avg completely and
uninstalled it as well so he could download something on limewire. Whatever
he downloaded had a virus in it and now i cant ctrl+alt+del and pull up my
task manager (i use xp home w/ service pack 2) if i right click on the
taskbar abd select taskmanager it never comes up, if i search for it it does
not appear. if i go to grisoft.com , it pulls up the ie window for about 2
seconds and closes itself. limewire also automatically restarted every single
time i closed it so i have deleted it. i tried to go onto a virus forum from
my computer and i have found that not only does grisoft get auto-closed but
all virus support sites as well. I even went to a site that sells pepper
spray and security supplies and the same results, but yahoo and myspace and
the like work. I had my friend do a file transfer from her computer to mine
on yahoo im for the installation program for avg and i can not open that
either. also i am getting random popups in a forgien language. When i open
"my computer" there are 2 html applications i do not recognize one called
"estigma" and another called "onoes" (i think that is how the second one is
spelled) i tried to format my hard drive but when i open cmd it says the
following "c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" (title bar) "Another program is
currently using this file." (message field) even immediately after restarting
my computer i ge this error message. I have tried to do a system restore and
it says failed everytime i have tried. And now my firefox is not working like
the task manager Please tell me my brand new (barely out of warranty)
computer is not doomed.

I am not going to give you a lecture, but try to help. If you can on boot up
tap the F8 key and load safe mode with networksupport. go to trendmicro.com
and run housecall. Housecall is an on line scanner that will remove or at
least deactivate the virus. if the virus will not let you run it and you
know the name look up how to manual remove the virus on the same site. every
virus can be deactivated if you know what to edit in the registry.
