Hi guys

It would appear I've downloaded something that I shouldn't have and Ive now been hit with what looks to be a very nasty virus.

Current symptoms include but most likely not limited too:

1. Unable to access (C:) Drive, this screen shot shows you the error I get

2. its blocked my system restore so no luck with that which is my usual cure

3. takes 2 boot ups to get system to work.

These are what Ive notice at the moment so if any one can help I would appreciate it very much.

Please note I've tried but can not find my windows CD, so really need an option that does not require this.

Thanks in advance

Ive installed Malwarebytes but system will not run it for some reason, not sure if its the virus thats preventing it from working.
But after double clicking I get no response and Ive tried reinstalling it and still nothing.

Going to try that online scan now.

flashstatic, For the Malwarebytes problem do this:
Rightclick and RENAME the Mbam.exe to something else. e.g. "fix.exe"... but leave the .exe in place. Then try to run it.

Also go to the link below and download "Autorun Eater 2.3", install it, then run it. It's Free.
