I think I am infected. Symptoms include:
- AV (avast) disabled, will not run
- Spybot will not run
- various malware removers will not run or install (including Microsoft's)
- ccleaner will not run
- System Restore says "cannot restore"
- Windows Firewall switched off (but I have managed to get that working again)
- cannot get into Safe Mode (I press f8, choose Safe Mode, and I get a Blue Screen)
- HijackThis does not install
All of the programs where I say "does not run" or "does not install": sometimes I get a quick flash of soemthing happening on the screen, but then it goes away; usually there is a simply a little disk activity but then nothing happens.

Please help!

Hi


Please download ***OTViewIt**** (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTViewIt.exe) by ***OldTimer**** and save it to your Desktop.
Close all applications and windows.
Double-click on the ***OTViewIt.exe****to start OTViewIt.
Place a checkmark in the blue-colored Scan All Users checkbox.
Click the blue Run Scan button.
OTViewIt will now start its scan.
When the scan is complete, two text files will be created, ***OTViewIt.Txt**** <- this one will be opened in Notepad and ***Extras.txt**** on Desktop.
Copy ***(Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C)**** and paste ***(Ctrl+V)**** the contents of ***OTViewIt.Txt**** and the Extras.txt to your post.
