I am pretty sure I have a virus....I cannot open any of my virus protection software or download anything that would help. I also cannot reboot my computer in safe mode....please help!

This may be of some assistance: http://www.d-a-l.com/help/spyware-ad...eeding-up.html If this doesn't
help, or (other) issues remain which cannot be resolved through these measures,,,,,,

I recommend you post a HijackThis log for review by our security experts. Follow the instructions here-> HiJackThis prerequisites. There are important measures outlined here which affect and "optimize" the outcome of your HJT log.

Then post your log in a new thread in the Spyware, Adware, Viruses and HijackThis
Logs Forum. (Not in this section please). http://www.d-a-l.com/help/spyware-ad...tructions.html
