    Okay i recently got a virus, i thing itwas anti spyware 2009. I tried everything to remove it. Malware antispyware, spybot, avast. and super anti spyware. They say they removed all the viruses but it seems like its still there. I cant log onto my account without my computer freezing and i can only loggin in safemode. I CANT reformat because its a college computer and its locked :(
    Any suggestions would be nice and btw i think the virus is in my memory. So when i start it up it automatically kicks in.

    Sorry for the spelling mistakes iam in a rush.

    I'm new to this, how do you post a hijack. I have a feeling the virus is in the drivers file so when windows starts it activates. d

    Did you follow the directions in the post I linked? If so, Trojan Remover is usually pretty good about picking up rootkit drivers.
    Download and install Hijack This!
    Rename the "hijackthis.exe" (or whatever it's called) to puppy.exe, some malware can hide from HJT if you don't.
    Run puppy.exe
    Click do a system scan and save a logfile
    Post logfile here
