Nasty stuff. Unplug your Lan first! Deleted and removed all the startup garbage and searchbars. After shutting EVERYTHING down with msconfig. was able to load Malwarebytes from a USB key. Corruption of disk bitmap and image. Windows said it fixed it after thourough spyware and virus cleaning. This took some hours.
Less than 2.5ghz and 512 ram just reformat it would be quicker but that was not an option on this machine.

Please help me I’m so upset. I have just saved for ages to buy a new laptop and now the antivirus live 2009 has infected it. I’m on my friend’s laptop now as it won’t let me get on anything. On here everyone is saying to download spyware or use Task manager but the virus means I can’t do that. Can I download spyware to my friend’s machine then save it to a usb and do it that way? Please someone help me. Thank you

I have ZoneAlarm which has been deleting a couple of viruses & spyware since I got the AV2009 bug, I also downloaded Spyhunter trial to find the files to delete (did that), also looked for the files in task mgr (found none)
and cant find anything named AV 2009 or full name in a file, program or task mgr. I do have tons of .exe files in task mgr but don’t know which ones are legit or not. I also did a system restore which seemed to help but the next day the AV2009 was still there. I don’t know what else to do! Can anyone tell me how to know which .exe files are real & which are part of the bug? Thanks in advance!
