Yeah so here's the situation. My parents PC is fucked up so bad that even Spybot can't get rid of it. Actually the spyware got rid of Spybot. Then I tried other methods like HijackThis and that can't run since it gets closed upon running it. Also the screen is black with red text, multiple bubbles come up with fake spyware programs and the like. Also searching for different removal programs closes Internet Explorer or AOL.

So, its up to YOU to find something that is smarter than this spyware here. Can you do it?

You need to get the spy bot again, and run that shit in SAFE MODE!

you can try AVG Antivirus. It works pretty well. (and it's free!)

Run your programs again in safe mode like foamcup mentioned.

Avast! Hasn't done me wrong in the past, but it seems more preventative. Still could help.

Thanks for the stuff guys.

I just got back from a boring ass party and had the program Abudur mentioned running. It got rid of some of it, mainly the annoying ones. Thanks for that http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.

I redownloaded Spybot and running it in safe mode since I have nothing else better to do at 4:35 AM. Also trying to install AVG. As for "Avast!, I <3 it. Though the installer gets closed on that computer. Also Task Manager is disabled by this stuff. The bastards. Hopefully Spybot can get rid of this stuff for good.

Take the hard drive out, and stick it into another computer. Run spyware removers and anti-viruses on it from there.

@Masou: When you press it, it will say "Task Manager is disabled by the Administrator". WTF? I am the Administrator!

@Meira: That's just crazy enough to work! I'll do that in the morning though. Luckily my parents' PC has two harddrives. Only one was infected too.

After running Spybot in safe mode I can now open the Task Manager http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif. Though HijackThis still cannot be ran. I got it installed by mass clicking though. Again thanks for the help.

Keep your hands off the cheap porn sites and don't use limewire/other cheapy p2p download apps.

The only 100% effective way to stop the spread of infection is to cauterize the wound. Torch that puppy.
