problems after scan
« on: December 21, 2009, 02:05:19 AM »
did a scan and when i rebooted had lots of problems: something has disabled both my firewall and avast and i can't restart either manually. also no windows wireless, so no internet. (can't restart that manually either). also a message that i need to login as admin to see details. anyone have any thoughts? virus, i'm betting but don't know. fyi, i'm running vista.

welcome to the forum. can you boot the computer at all. if so i suggest you try MBAB AND/or sas. http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/

did the scan come up with anything? what did you do with that file then?

if the MBAB and SAS can't help you i suggest you try a bootable cd from either avira, dr web cure och bit defender.
