I'm currently on my Guest account because due to Privacy Center I cannont log onto my Main account.

When I boot up my computer It auto logs onto my main account. A fake spyware removal program called Privacy center pops up and starts *scanning* my computer. During this time i cannot click anything. Even when it's done i can't click anywhere without getting an error sound. I use Ctrl+Alt+Delete and end the process. But now my Explorer process isn't running so I cann;t see any icons or any panels to click on.

I finally learned how to log off my maina ccount via task manager and logged onto ym guest account. I downloaded tools saying they delete Privacy Center but I need to be logged onto an admin account to install the program.

I have tried to Add or Remove program PC, wont work. I tried manually deleting PC. Access denied. I scanned the PC folder with Antivira, no threat detected.

I booted in safe mode and PC still pops up. And i forgot the password to the "Administrator" account. And it isn't any of the default passwords (I.E blank or admin etc.)

Anyone have ANY idea how to delete this virus?
