Another annoying virus.

Hey again guys.

So this time, the computer gods have bestowed yet another plague upon my computer, but this time it's even more annoying than the last.

This time there is a Red circle with a white x in the menu at the bottom right, and every 2 seconds it gives me a pop up that says: "your computer is infected! Windows has detected spyware infection!" etc etc and asks me to buy their antivirus software.

To get rid of this, I have tried to run antivirus stuff, but it windows keeps telling me that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file" for almost any EXE that I try to run. The only things I have gotten to work are AVG 8.5 (which finds nothing in a scan), Chrome, Firefox, and IE. If I boot into safe mode, the computer goes to blue screen. system restore point didn't do anything, and Avast, MWB, HJT, McAfee, Ms office, and all games are all blocked with the above mentioned windows error.

halp.
