This is my first post because I did a Google search for a computer forum and this site came up so hopefully you guys can help me.
I don't know what this virus is or how it got into my computer but I'll do my best to tell you guys what it is.
I started with about 35 processes before I got the virus. After I was hit I had well over 50 processes and my computer would restart very quickly, so I went to MSCONFIG and disabled all the processes. Didn't fix the problem but it did stop my computer from restarting as much.
When I first start my computer up Windows XP will start up normal and everything. The problem is about 1 min later everything just freezes up and I am unable to click anything. My mouse still moves but all clicking functions do not work. The only thing I'm able to do is ctrl+alt+delete. That is also the only way I can shut my PC down. The thing is though about the only thing I can do is use Firefox but I have to click on it as soon as the desktop shows up. Another thing is if I am using Firefox and I decide to close it I can't get back into it unless I restart.
One thing I tried was doing an AdAware scan but the weird thing about that is as soon as it gets going and finds many things the PC will just restart on its own. I also dled AVP anti-virus off of download.com and I scan and again while it is finding things the PC will restart on its own.
And when my computer is first started I get a couple error messages. One is Media Ack or something like that and another is NT something.
I did use the virus scan that was in the sticky the last link and it found 107 things but when I tried cleaning them it said that it was unable to clean it.
I also tried System Restore and when it looks like it's working I get a message when I restart that it was unsuccessful. I tried different dates as well.
So any help you guys could give me would be very appreciated.
