[grindtashine]

hello everyone, i came across this site by this page: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=106678.0

when i get to superantispyware.exe....it wont let me run the prog.....a security warning pops up that says "Application cannot be executed.  The file superantispyware.exe is infected.  Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?

and of course, theres all the IE pop ups of porn sites and my toolbar at the bottom right lights up light a xmas tree every 4mins or so

someone please walk me through this.....good karma to follow for sure

backstory:  a month or so ago protection center virus poped up....i unistalled macafee and installed Avast and did a sys rest. (amateur stuff)....and the problem seemed to be fixed, but with minor search engine redirects

yesterday - avast expires and security suite starts poping up.....just did a full sys scan w/ avast and displayed 15 or so trajans, then i deleted them....

now - cant run any programs including mbam, i can even enter task manager, Everytime i try opening anything, an alert pops up telling me that the .exe file is infected....should i try entering safe mode? should i unistall avast and reinstall it or some other av?


thank you
