So it started yesterday, my computer randonmly started opening popups and was extremely slow, I ran ad aware which came up with no results. I keot getting random errors, particularly when trying to close down saying it failed to execute etc.
I switched my laptop on this morning and the problem has esculated, 'my documents' kept randomly opening, my background had been changed to a warning sign saying I needed proffesional help to remove dangerous viruses and my browsers wouldnt open most webpages (including this one, google worked and searched fine, but when opening the webpage it was completely blank). I tried to run my antivirus again, but it constantly kept getting errors and closed itself down. I managed to get a download from geeksquad to remove antispyware (was only thing I could get hold of) but when it completed I got a system error message and my computer shut itself down. Now windows attempts to start up when I turn my laptop on but then quickly logs me off again back to the main login screen. Currently using my Bf's laptop. I was thinking of just completely restoring the computer with my restore disc, but I have alot of valuable info I need on the laptop, and many of my programs I have I now dont have the discs too. Suggestions? Thanks Edit: After looking around I have some more info on the virus: I got this error image before my computer shutdown http://www.gregcrawford.co.uk/suppor...m_shutdown.gif Also antivirus xp pro kept popping up and my wallpaper was changed to this image http://community.ca.com/blogs/securi...xp_warning.gif Also after a scan it came up with the trojan winlogin.exe in the system32 folder but failed to delete it so I tried manually deleting it, could this be the problem?
