Recently I downloaded a trojan virus from ZimLabs.net (Note: If you decide to visit that website, do not download anything! All software offered on that website is infected and at the moment, undetected through scanners of all types.) The virus at first modified my clock settings to 24-Hour time and had about 8 ?'s after it. It looked like this: 21:34 ????????
After realizing I just downloaded something very unsafe, I did a full virus/spyware scan and noticed that the virus (W32/Generic!im) had attached itself to every executable file I ran after the virus was installed. The icons were changed to a black box and on the properties menu of every infected file said: Made by ZimLabs.net
Later on in the night, my brother notified me of very weird things happening such as the mouse buttons being reversed, passwords being changed, etc. I then decided I need to get this server off of my computer somehow. I started visiting search engines on how to remove it and all of a sudden he typed the following line in one of the search engines: Zim was here
After this I immediatly shut down the computer, only to find out that he blocked access to EVERYTHING possible after I started it back up with the modem turned off. The 'Run...', 'Search...', Control Panel options are hidden from the Start menu now. There are 0 icons on the desktop. Everytime I try to run a program or do anything, this error message is received: This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
I cannot run any scanners or anything GUI because of the limitations I have now. I know all of my files are still intact, I made sure within DOS. Are there any suggestions on how to fix this situation I'm in?
