    I have some type of infection. When you boot up it shows up as a warning message as part of the desktop background. You also get constant popups. I have ran several utilities in both regular mode and safe mode and find lots of viruses. Spybot also finds some that start with windows.xxxxxx, They say they cleaned them up but they always (all of them) show back up again on next run of the programs. Also task manager has been disabled and originally regedit was was it was disable by administrator. I can now get into regedit, but when i have followed some of the procedures to enable task manager (changing a value back to 0), it says it has done it,but when you go back to look at the value again it is also back to a 1, like regedit is not really changing any values. I have tried several of the programs out there that supposed to reset the values for task manager and regedit, but it does not actually get changed even when it says it was successful. I believe this is why spybot is not really cleaning out the viruses when it actually said it did.

    Problems seemed to have disappeared after running combfix. All I can do this morning, will attach logs later from running superantispyware, malwarebytes. Anyway, after running combofix, no longer have the background screen saying my pc is infected, also taskmanager is available again.
