Hi all, I need to know how to remove this virus called W32.Killaut.A. I can't even install an antivirus software. Because recently I'm using Trend Micro and I didn't realize it is expired. So the virus has came into my computer. Things that affected by the virus: -Windows Task Manager (Disabled) -All folders and applications/software (Can open but after few seconds they automatically close) -Run Command (Disabled) -Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel gone -Registry Editor (Disabled) -Folder Options in Tools (Disabled) -Cannot boot in safe mode In conclusion, this is my second PC. The infected PC cannot even open the Antivirus software. Any help would be greatly appreciated. kokkeong10@hotmail.com

But the thing is I cannot boot into safe mode and cannot even open System Restore... Please help...

Thank you for replying to my problem. I have now resolve this problem in my own way. I opened the task manager by using a VB script to enable task manager. Then I end all the virus processes. Quickly I installed Avira Premium Security Suite before the virus come again. Because the virus block me from installing the anti-virus. Then Avira cleared off everything and I get back a normal computer. BTW... How do I get back my Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel that is gone due to the virus? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the follow-up.
