Computer is infested

[clukker]

Hi Spybot and HJT both worked once but shut down automatically now an error appears any time I start them saying.

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item"

tried other anti-malware programs and I get the same response. I have no idea what to do next. PLEASE HELP!

Nothing will work. Spybot, malwarebytes, adaware, superantispyware or HJT.
It then went thorough a spell of stating that "NT/system problems and windows shutting down in 60sec"

It also wouldn't start start in safe mode and kept starting safe mode startup again and again.

After going on a crazy spree deleting everything I could in the process part of the task manager I am now able to start my computer again.

I have no idea what to do next PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME.

I am on the brink of meltdown and will nearly attempt to format my PC and I really don't want to.

Has anybody got any suggestions at all.:hair:
