So yesterday I contracted a virus from who-knows-where and cant seem to get rid of it.

I had Spyware Doctor running when I got it, and it quickly got rid of all Ad ware that came with the virus in one scan.

But I didnt have an antivirus installed at the time so I reinstalled my old Norton Internet Security 2005. Its scan got two virus' but there are obviously more.

I have noticed that my C: drive has vanished so I cant go in and delete the program file for a "anti virus" that has been spamming my computer nonstop. Along with that I cant open an internet browser without the page automatically going to another "antivirus'" webpage.

Any thoughts on how I could help myself since I cant access my program files, the internet, and scans aren't working? (Problem is with my laptop, im on my desktop)

The homepage is set to something that isn't mine and I cant change it.

Thanks for the link though. That forum is helpful.
