All applications I started gave me an error message saying the same thing - Application cannot be excuted. File is infected. Activate antivirus software now? - The message then would take me to a website to purchase an antivirus software for 50$. After that any website I try to go to sends me to a webpage that states - Website may be infected. Please purchase antivirus software. -

I then ran Malware and Spybot in Safe Mode but still could not connect to internet (in Safe Mode with networking). Neither solved the problem, however Malware found a Trojan which I removed. But when I ran MBAM again the same Trojan was again detected and removed, so I believe there is a root virus. I then ran a system restore, this got rid of the problem of every website loading to the same page but my computer is now outrageously slow. it actually takes 15 minutes to start my computer.

I also ran OTL and can post the report if needed.

Please Help. Thank You
