Need serious help. Have a weird problem with my PC. For one, my antivirus has been disabled. Everytime I open it, it closes after 5 seconds. Next, Windows Installer has also stopped working, so I can't install anything anymore. My System restore entries have all been emptied out, so the dates still exist, just theres nothing to restore back to. When I open MusicMatch, it tells me that "Drag and Drop failed". I also have problems copy-pasting. Plz help!!!!!!!!

Go to pcpitstop.com and run their free virus scan. I'm not sure but it looks like you have copped a 'dose'. There are quite a few viruses out there that disable Norton - i.e. run the cursor over the norton icon in your system tray and if it just disappears after a second or two, you have been got!

apparently it isn't the klez virus, because stinger couldn't find it, nor could symantec's klez removal tool. Oddly, even after trying all these different virus scans, nothing had been found. I really don't know what to do now, could this be a new virus? If so, what should I do?

The trojan is probably the file servlces.exe (note the ´l´ instead of ´i´) In the start menu choose ´run´ and type msconfig, in the startup tab uncheck ´servlces.exe´ and reboot. That fixed it for me, hope it works for you.

(If it doesn´t work you can try to disable the program while your computer is starting up, using ´ctrl - alt- del´)

Good luck

I hope this message does not come to late but this sounds like the W32/Msblast worm that I got. Especially when it shuts down your antivirus application even before it starts. You can try to end it's process in Task Manager and then run updated anti virus software if you'r able.

Good luck
