hello, i tried searching but i have a weird problem. i boot my PC, everything is normal, but when i open any program, the computer opens MY DOCUMENTS folder. internet explorer opens mydocs, firefox, even solitare. it will not let me install any new programs and reboots as soon as i execute any isntallation. anyone have this virus?

hi, only one offer for you , reinstall windows and install antivirus after you scan full system all files . maybe virus sits in any program you have in PC so first download any antivirus from internet install it and do full system scan only when you can install all left programs.
i hade same virus and cant figure out how to clean it so im done same i sayd now !
good luck

it actually creates an EXE file in every folder with a program. i want to try to fix it before wiping my whole computer out. its my work computer so i need programs on there

[doodgee]

yes you can save all you need programs but don't launch it before you install antivirus and do full scan. only when you can run all programs if its clear.

if you can download and install clam antivirus on a flash drive on a clean pc then scan your infected pc that might help with your problem.

1) boot from a boot cd: Hiren's BootCD 11.0 - www.hiren.info
2) install virusscan: AVG Free - Antivirus Download | Free Software
3) scan the system

Besides this: it could be a hardware problem ......

Hello,

Check your msconfig for startup programs. There has to be something like unknown or not common exe file which possibly a malware(Trojan horse, worm, spy, ad-ware etc)

So you need to disable it then make a clean virus scan with avg. It is the best freeware antivirus you can ever find.

its got no real time protection, its slugish and realy doesnt find much, avast is the best av software out there Banks use it, it must do its job.
Dr.Web CureIt! — ??????? ????????? ?????????! ??????? ???????, ?????? ?????????? ?????????! is a better option to clean the machine if it wont let you install or run any programs then you need to boot from a live cd to cut the os out fully,
