    Running Windows Vista:

    My problems started when I got duped into downloading a "codec" trying to watch a TV show online (I know, I'm an idiot), but soon enough, my computer started crashing.

    I've tried to boot normal, but all I get is a black screen, task manager will sometimes open but whenever I try to run something, I get an error. Explorer seems to be broken.

    I booted into safe mode-with networking and was able to run internet explorer through task manager (still have a completely black screen...explorer.exe seems to be broken). I have the problem where clicking links gets redirected, although that seems the least of my problems right now. I cannot run Spybot, Malware, or Hijackthis. I found someone who tried SpyNoMore and I could run that...but it seems like a fishy program that requires $40 to fix my problems, which it listed as:

    Multiple instances of Zlob DNS HiJacker
    MalwareBHO

    I tried to do Windows Repair with my original Windows Vista disc, but it couldnt find Vista installed (no instance of my C drive? wtf). I've also tried online virus scan through trendmicro but that didnt work because Java isn't enabled in safe mode.

    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get rid of this/repair my computer?

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    What is the exact word for word error message and error number if you get one?

    Does Task Manager run? If yes, click File, New Task (Run...) and enter msconfig and click OK. When the System Configuration window appears. Click the Tools tab and then look System Restore under the tool name heading. Select it and then click the Launch button. See if you can do a restore back to a date before this problem began. Let me know the results.

    This is something that you DO NOT want on your PC. It should be removed immediately.
