Hey there.
Recently I was foolish enough to download what I thought was a legitimate installer, only to discover it brought with it a good BUNDLE of viruses and adware. My first move was to disable my INTERNET connection to prevent it spreading or downloading more things onto my computer. Next I ran Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware-SE and my Norton Antivirus SEARCHES to cleanse my computer. I also installed Avast virus protection and had it run its system startup scan and a completly thorough scan for viruses. When I thought everything was removed I enabled my internet connection again, and was given numerate popups from Avast telling me I had viruses and adware found. I followed the "suggested action" of moving everything to the "chest". Now what move shall I take next? What has "moving to chest" actually done? Are all threats now dealt with and I can have piece of mind? Presumably my computer is still infected, what shall I do next to get it sorted out?

Also I can no longer open Windows Task Manager with CTR + ALT + DEL and opening it with run taskmgr.exe tells me the file is already in use, despite it not being open. Also I have a new program installed on my computer called toolbar888 which I cannot remove without closing internet explorer first. However internet explorer is not even open at the time. Any ideas with these two problems at all?

Any help appreciated, I know I've been a silly boy  
Brom Bromley-UK.......  The first thing you should do , is turn off your system restore ( if you have that option available to you........ ( you DIDNT mention the O/S )  . Next reboot into safe MODE and run your Anti virus from safe mode ...... Once you are finished , reboot back into normal and see how things are .
