I have an Acer Aspire T180-1972 pc running Vista 32. I have picked up a nasty virus masquerading as a anti spyware application called Internet Security 2010. I must of got it downloading some free games. I have Googled it and it comes bundled with free software and you dont get asked if you want it. I did a scan with Avg and it showed nothing. Malwarebytes found trojans and deleted them but it kept returning It cannot be turned off from the taskbar and i got bombarded with messages that i need to do a full scan with Internet Security and then purchase the programme. when i tried Systemn restore a box came up with the message unable to do a restore because its infected. I got the same message in msconfig startups Task manager had greyed so i could not close it down. I downloaded something called Rkill.com as advised from a site and installed it on my laptop because i cannot get an internet connection on my pc, and put that on a memory stick but before i could install it the pc as now gone totaly mad if i try safe mode with or without networking all i get now is installing updates from microsoft do not turn your pc off. Nothing installs and the pc just restarts and the same thing happens over again. I never got a backup disc with the pc. The only way i know how to un and reinstall the OS software is from Acer recovery in programmes but i cannot get to it. Is it possible to do a systemn or os restore from the bios or turn off the updates I can no longer start the pc without the same loop Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks
