I think I actually have multiple viruses on my system or the one I have is particularly virulent. It started out by hijacking my wallpaper and telling me that my system was infected (duh). I ran several free anti-malware systems and it seemed like MalwareBytes got rid of that one. However, when I run MWB now, it finds a tdss (Agent.ANA trojan) in two registry keys and quarantines/deletes them. When I run it immediately aferward, it finds the same infected files again! Occasionally it comes up with nothing, but when I run XoftSpySE, it finds several files (I can't get rid of them through it because I can't pay for the program
).
This virus significantly slows down my processes, hijacks my internet search engine results and constantly gives me 404 or timed out connection errors. I also can't boot my computer in normal mode (I'm in Safe Mode with Networking right now). I have downloaded HijackThis, but would rather not use it without direction. Please help!
