Ok, for the past few days I have noticed problems with my computer. Stupid me, I was irritated with my current antivirus and before getting rid of it, I forgot to scan. Well now whenever I try to install a new antivirus (Of any variety), try loading a pre-installed virus checker, scan online, or even remotely scan my computer it will either interrupt the installation, delete my AV files, or reboot my computer. I cannot load my computer up in safe mode, as when I attempt to, the computer just reboots. I have tried booting up using Knoppix Linux and tried to do a virus check using Avira Antivirus, but all it picked up was a trojan and an email virus but was unable to delete them. The viruses are as follows: TR/Dldr.Small.BTF.3 TR/Bagle.Gen.B and a spyware program AdTool.MyWebSearch.AU Anyone have any idea of what this is and how I can get rid of it? I would really like to avoid a format, but if that's what I have to do, I guess that's what I'll do.

**now whenever I try to install a new antivirus (Of any variety),** Which AV did you have? Was it a trial version of Avira? Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

What you could do is uncheck automatically restart and then post the EXACT error message. That will help us find a solution for you. Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

The Antiviruses that i have used and failed are as follows: Avira Trial & Avira in Linux AVG Free (Two other nonames that I can't remember) Avast Norton Antivirus Zonealarm F-Prot (Or is that F-proc?) Mcafee Where do uncheck the automatically restart? At safe mode?

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for... The above tells how to do it. Boy, you tried a zillion AV's LOL. Norton and McAfee will have to be done with the uninstallers on their webpage and then use regcleaner: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4... to clean out all remnants. Make sure ALL the AV's are uninstalled and then use the regcleaner to get rid of the excess files. Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

Lol. Have never seen so many AV's on one computer. Do you know that it is advised to use one AV per machine? Do as XpUser said. Might be that after removing these antivirus programs and cleaning the registry problem will be solved. Good luck and keep us informed. Really interesting what will happen.
