Hi, i think i may have a virus but im not sure. This is what happens, i cannot open msconfig, all my system programs lock up, my antivirus auto protection was disabled(and it refuses to re-enable), and my firewall was disabled. Everytime i try and fix something my system crashes. Everything opens fine in safe mode, and nothing crashes. But when im back in regular mode nothing is fixed. I ran Norton in safe mode and it didnt pick up any viruses. This is really making me mad and i need help. Thanks
