    I am skilled in computers and have successfully removed many viruses and malware in the past and i have come across one i can not remove. Its the Kibaki virus. Here is the info.

    Whenever the cpu logs onto windows a pop up comes up saying "Vote for president Kabki........"
    Once this happens the computer starts up and I see that all my administrator priveledges have been removed. My run, control panel, search have all been removed and I can not access this area due to lack of admin.
    The virus closes any window i open. for example i want to install and run a registry scanner and as soon as it runs it gets closed by the virus, almost like there is a script that alt+f4's every second.
    In my startup there is an "AUTO.TXT" that comes from the c:windows directory. I have been able to find the virus embedded in my defender anti virus so i uninstalled this and have found the virus copying itself in the C:windows, c:windows:system32, and c:windows:system32:drivers.
    I have found a virus in the system32.dll files and corresponding registries.

    * I havent been able to run HJThis b/c of the windows closing. Please address this so we can begin working on the problem.
    I am having the most trouble with the fact my windows keep closing so i cant run any programs!
