task manager won't open, laptop won't shut down

Hello
I'm not a computer pro but I'm pretty competent usually, however I'm way out of my league
First my laptop stopped going into sleep mode and when I put my battery plan to balanced it fixed it temporarily. then the battery stopped charging. i took it out and put it again, it has fixed. then the big problems began
task manager stopped working (it would open and be running but I couldn't see it anywhere, only the green box on the lower right panel thing) - I downloaded process explorer and killed the many task managers i had running. so its not fixed but replaced
then the big problem - it can no longer shut down :( it says its gonna and then just stays at the 'logging out' screen. i'm worried every time i hard reset i'm damaging it.

at some point i did a system restore (before the major probs happened because it prompted me. i thought i could perhaps do a restore from longer back but now I can't get system restore to appear though it is running. I can't get task viewer to work without crashing, I can't do windows update or windows defender scan.
I have run avg and the microsoft malicious software removal tool which are taking 7 hours to finish, early at the end and no results - so does this mean it isn't a virus? also, how is AVG different from windows defender? I have run glary, ccleaner, and advances system care..
I have just made a windows vista repair disc though i'm not really sure what it does, should I use it? also I don't think I can do a reset because my laptop did not come with a vista disc :( apparently it is maybe stored by hidden paritian? I don't really get it.
Any ideas? Its worrying me a lot, I have my laptop in my room so keeping it on is not an option, i don't think hard reset is a long-term solution either. I really need it fixed before I head back to Uni because the idea of being cut off is scary. I could get someone to fix it but apparently that could add up to £90 or something :S

also, say I back everything up and it turns out I did have a virus. might I infect my data in my backup and be infected forever?

please help if you can!

Okay, I've done the Malwarebytes one. It said it found a trojan named trojan.agent but when I googled it some sites said it was a fake trojan to scare people into buying the full anti-virusy software. Others said it was real. Does anybody know about trojan.agent? does it match my problems?
Also i clicked delete or remove or whatever but it said it could not be removed and would be upon reboot - but as you know, my computer has a problem with restarting. should i try and restart it? it probably won't log off and I'll have to hard reset and turn it on, will this still remove the trojan?
should I do a full-scan?

I'll post the malwarebytes log:

thanks for any help - i should be revising and I've spent the last week trying to fix this >.<

also, I was backing up my data (I hope if there is a virus it won't transfer) and I noticed that one file which wouldn't copy was C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\RAC\StateData because there was a problem, it was corrupt or something.. could this mean anything? i think I may have accidentally done something to it when backing it up last time, but maybe i'm paranoid

i would try a system restore but it won't work.. i have advanced system care and that has rollbacks.. i don't think its the same and that might not work either >.< hyjackthis almost didn't open the first time.. i made a vista recovery CD as my laptop did not come with one but I don't really know what it does
since my date is backed up my big worry is my itunes since 'date added' is my favourite feature and I don't know if this is transferable :( if I copy over from a backup they'll all be added the same day..
also a worry is to fix this soon because every time it shuts down unexpectedly or i hard reset this is bad for it?
again thanks for any help
 
Did you fix it?

Hello,

My Windows Vista computer is having the same exact problem. Task Manager won't open and the computer won't shut down. I've done numerous scans for virus/malware but haven't found anything on them. Were you able to resolve your problem?

Click to expand...

no :( I mean I only just posted. I'm too scared to turn it on again until I have to (I have an old desktop to use atm) but I don't know what I'll do once I go back for exams. It will be too noisy to sleep and leave it on in my room but to be unconnected to the world....

I'm kinda glad you just had a problem when I did, makes me think it might be a more current problem or something - this should mean it'll be easier fixed?
 
i fixed it

I fixed my problem. It was the wireless network driver. It needed to be updated. It's my girlfriends computer, and 2 weeks ago the automatic update popped up, but she closed it. This somehow caused the wireless network driver to get corrupted, and everytime the computer booted up, it got into a viscious cycle of trying to run Windows Update using the bad wireless network driver and it would bog the computer down.

I unistalled the network driver, and installed the newest one I got from Intel's website and everythign works now.

Vista is terrible.

I can't seem to change anything in registry
also, can you be sure that it is disabled? it seems to think it is working

also, windows update isn't working.. i tried to download manually but the site only works with IE and that doesn't seem to be working either!!
 
Hello:

Download and Run ComboFix
If you already have Combofix, please delete this copy and download it again as it's being updated regularly.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

In your next reply i will need:
  • The ComboFix log
  • A fresh HiJackThis log
  • An update on how your computer is running
