Right so the other day an error message came up in my bottom left hand corner , saying the following :

Application cannot be executed. The file '...(whatever file i try to open)..' is infected. Do you want to activate your anti virus now?

There is also a frequent message pops up explaining my computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It says it could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan -dropper or similar. It asks me would i like to block this attack , and everytime i have clicked yes.

My anti virus is out of date and  my system will not let me open the application it to re-new .

I have downloaded , SUPERanti spy ware , Eraser 6.0.7 ,  Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and the service pack.

None of these applications will open.

I have also tried to make a new admin user account to system restore, will not let me make a new account.

It will not let me open anything on my system apart from the internet.

PLEASE HELP !!! i will be so greatful if someone can.

Thanks.
