Solve : Multiple Sypware/Malware?

Answer»

This might be a challenging problem....

A few weeks ago my computer started giving random pop-ups and blocked my Virus protection updates (Norton). Upon further examination, I discovered multiple malwares: It started with Prunnet.exe and Gadcom.exe. I think I got rid of those but my Task manager is still showing crssc.exe and iexplore.exe (although I am not using Internet Explorer). I am unable to install any new anti-virus software (especially HijackThis, that will not even start the installation process) and my computer has problems starting up (sometimes it takes a few manual restarts to get to the main screen).

I am very inexperienced and afraid that I am causing more issues by trying to fix things myself. I would greatly appreciate if there is anyone that could help me.


Thank you!!!!
