Help...!

HI all, I am a bit of a novice at this so if anyone can help that would be much appreciated.

I have recently aquired a LOT of hassle with Virus's , Malware and Spyware!

I was using my pc as normal last wednesday and when came back to it friday it was going mental at me! I had beetles crawling across my screen and everything! After running several virus, spyware programs i appear to have got rid of most of it but am still having problems.

I have AVG free which has always worked fine for me and that healed whatever virus it seemed to find, i also ran spybot and ad aware then norton system works after.

I now am getting pop ups, whenever i turn my pc on i get lots of registry change requests with random names like install 01/02/03 etc...

I cannot turn on my automatic Updates on and i cannot access the windows update site. Also it is now seems to be struggling to open multiple programs, like something is eating up all the RAM.

I really am out of ideas and have reached the end of my knowledge so could really do with some help

Many many thanks to anyone that can!

Matt

I have windows xp with sp2 if that helps anyone.

Hi,before starting I would back up ALL of your docs ect. to a cd or flash drive.

Download http://www.superantispyware.com/ and install and update, boot into safe mode and run a full scan also in safe mode run a full scan of AVG.
