    Please help me! The only way I can use the internet is to boot up in safe mode with networking, but alot of stuff I can't download in this mode like ad aware to try and fix it,,for a long time now it has had trouble making it to the desktop screen after typing in the security password, but when i do make it there now eventually this big blue trouble screen appears then it crashes,i've tried computer repair when it boots up, diagnostic memory testing and went back more than 60 days in system restore to fix it, but nothing has worked so far,what else can i do in safe mode to fix it? It has vista OS

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    Well it only got worse after I posted this,could not even get into safe mode on startup must have been some fatal virus,so now i'm on a new smaller laptop with windows 7 home premium and the other one is going out for 9 millimeter practice,wished i would have taken care of the problem much earlier when it first started but I got lazy and found an easy way around it until it was too late to fix it,let this be a warning to all even if it don't seem major better get it fixed before its unrepairable:(
