I am a bit inept when it comes to problems that I can't see so stick with me here please
Problem started when I downloaded something called "uniblue" and it told me that there was a file on my computer named "wininit" that was a trojan virus. I tracked the stupid thing down and tried to remove it and got denied so I tried to stop it through task manager and it shut down my computer immediately with a screen that said something about a "memory dump" and a whole lot of other stuff that I couldn't read in the alloted 2.37 seconds. After I got back up and running everything seemed normal so I figured I wouldn't mess with the wininit thing again so I cam on here to get some advice and protection for my computer. I went into the security section to read the 101 there (which have been SUPREMELY helpful thus far btw) and saw the basic malware link and downloaded the zonealarm firewall to start and when I tried to install it I got that same blue screen as before around the 35% mark and now my computer won't let me onto the internet due to a problem with the "DNS server". I am in safe mode with networking capabilities atm and thats how I am able to post. Basically I have no clue what to do since I have tried a system restore 4 times now to no avail, it just won't let me. Keeps coming back as system restore couldn't restore anything so left everything screwed. Sorry about the lengthy post I just got myself in WAY too deep without een knowing what I did. ANy help would be appreciated!!
