Hello.
Ok, I have some malicious software on my computer.
I have tried a selection of detection software all to no avail.The virus currently closes/crashes all my web browsers as I use them. Im guessing it detects connection to the internet as it even manges to close the win-amp browser.
Aswell as this, it restarts my computer everytime I attempt to run msconfig.
Another feature is a Pop-up identical to that of a windows firewall alert telling me I need to enable protection. Upon clicking the button, I am linked to a webpage telling me to buy Perfect Defendor 2009.
There is no unknown proccesses as far as I am aware in my process list.

Any help is appreciated.
