I have a fairly new computer and today it started giving me a virus alert and whenever i try to run any program it says "Application cannot be executed. The file **** is infected......." I saw a post with this same issue and tried to download Rkill, but it's giving me that same error right at the end of the download. I cannot run any programs or installed software. All I get is the same error with a different file name in place of the **** stated above. Please please please can someone help??
Oh.. also, the error is popping up randomly, not just when I try to open a program.
I just realized that I might have posted this in the wrong section. Here is the link to the post that I found related to my issue. http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=95177.0

UPDATE:
I don't know if this hurt me or helped me, but I restarted my computer, did a system restore to a previous time, entered into safe mode, and then restarted normally. I'm not having quite as bad of a problem, but at the same time, I don't think that got rid of the virus that was causing this.
