Experienced User** First Posting Though!

I have removed so many different forms of malware and "viruses" over the years that I haven't even had to read anything about them for quite some time. Anyway, my problem... well actually wait, another story first.

Whatever happened, I got it in the most ridiculous manner. Being the "PC Doctor" to my friends I brought someone's harddrive to be hooked up to mine as a slave, because then his windows files wouldn't be used and therefore could be manipulated(he actually had the smitfraud-c or whatever, the tcpipmon.exe in his processes). I have done this a few times over the years and it has always seemed to work majestically. Then like a retard I ran an executable on his harddrive and the smitfraud jumped to me, I was going to have to do this the hard way, so here I am.

I ended up downloading AVG for myself, after repeated hijackthis and spybot/adaware runs and smitfraud fixes. Directly after this, I can't get into windows, and by that I mean that I get to the 'welcome screen' even though I never used the welcome screen at all, and once I log in, it immediately logs me out, plays the on then off sound for windows, back to login.

I can get into safemode, and I removed AVGfrom my registry/run settings. Reboots take a lot longer than usual, and I can't get past the welcome screen.

Am I down to reinstall as last option? Also, anywords of wisdom on the smitfraud-c or the tcpipmon.exe?

Thanks so much for any help, if you have any direct questions, I can am sound enough with the computer to be able to test and answer.

I will see if I can run it.

I fixed the login problem... sort of.

I went into safemode and created a new account, and presto* back in business, I can get into normal mode.

But...

I got back into normal mode, re-downloaded AVG, it found a whole ton of viruses and locked the filesin the vault, thus making my OS pretty much useless unless I can get them out somehow.

And it seems as though AVG was the problem somehow, because after having put AVG back in, I now can't get back into normal mode, again!

Blah, I'm not an idiot, but I haven't dealt with 'viruses' in forever, just spyware and garbage that slows the computer down. 'Viruses' just sit and try to do stuff and show up in scans, never see a Virut.A running in my processes!

End, I will try and run this file and get back to you.

Thanks,

Chaslang,
Thanks for trying to help. I was however in a bind and needed to get the computer back up and running this weekend and could not go through this process though I know you would have eventually been able to get me through it.
I formatted and have everything back to fresh (it was all good because I wanted to make a larger partition anyway).

Thanks again Chaslang and majorgeeks.com, this site rocks anytime there is something wrong with anyone's computer!!

Best regards,
