I have two pcs in my house. The family pc cannot connect to the internet. It worked perfectly fine the day before, but when I was on the internet I kept on getting this annoying pop up that would try to scan my pc for viruses or would advertise that I should buy the virus scanner. (registry defender) I didn't download the program though, since I thought it was malware. I did a virus scan with Panda 2009, and it detected several viruses. Then I started browsing around my pc and found regcleaner and weatherbug. I don't know how those got on my pc, but I uninstalled them. Before I unintalled regcleaner, it said it encountered 100 and something errors with dlls, but I ignored it. The next day, my pc had a run dl problem and I couldn't connect to the internet. Also my panda firewall got disabled. I checked my network connections folders and I discovered it was empty. I tried making a new broadband connection with the new connections wizard, but it said it should be already configured and ready for use. I was thinking of doing a system restore because the first time I checked I had several restore points. But when I clicked next to restore, it didn't do anything, so I canceled the program. After I rebooted the pc, the restore points vanished. Please help!

Obviously your system is infected so you may wanna try something other than Panda....it doesn't appear to work very well.
Disable system restore, install a different AV program such as AVG Free, make sure it's fully updated, then run all your scans from safe mode. Once you're sure your system is clean, re-enable system restore & set a restore point.
Here's some programs you should use:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.35

You may already be infected with the conflictor worm as you are stating some of the issues that it will perform....blocking internet access so it makes it harder to remove....
I would immediately remove that computer from the network or it may cross over to your other computers sharing the network.
Run your anti-virus programs again from safe mode.
Use your online computer to download other anti spyware/malware applications and burn them to CD's or clean flash drives and use that to install to the infected computer.
Change Is Good

Thanks guys for responding. After doing some research, I might possibly have the vundo trojan. But I'm having trouble installing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.35. When I click on the execution file, nothing will pop up. Can I install it in safe mode? Any other spyware scan reccommendations?
