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

If you can connect to the internet and stay logged on..

visit the following sites and run scans and all of them

1) Housecall Trendmicro

2) Trojanscan.com

3) PC PitStop

Let us know the results...

well..i tried all the links you sent me...and nothing. Housecall wouldnt load up, trojan scan found no trojans, and PcPitstop found only minor problems with my computer. Nothing is getting fixed. I need more suggestions. Thanks
