Guys, i was browsing the internet last night looking for song lyrics when my AVG started freaking out. I Immediately disconnected my wireless internet but it was too late, more and more notifications from AVG listing Trojans kept coming up. I ran a scan in safe mode last night but it didn't remove anything, because everything is the same this morning. I noticed while the trojans were infecting my computer that malwarebytes had been corrupted or disabled as well as these other symptoms -
Main Symptoms:
1) Malwarebytes won't run or install properly
2) Windows security is completely disabled, can't enable
3) in normal boot, task manager cannot be displayed
4) illegitimate notifications displaying "danger! your computer is infected" keep popping up on the task bar
5) very sluggish, explorer.exe crashes constantly too
What I've Tried (and it's failed):
1) in safe mode, Running/Re-Installing malwarebytes, as well as renaming the exe file to install from, nothing is working..
2) in safe mode, Running AVG scan, hasn't found anything
3) in safe mode, running combofix, as osiris' website suggests, keeps freezing after about 12-15 minutes
I'm about to try to run HiJackThis but i don't have very high hopes for survival. Please help
~Thanks
Jack
