Serious Infections/Problems?

Hello. I figured that I had better get some help now before the situation on my computer gets any worse. That is, if it hasnt already gotten bad enough as is.

A few days ago my computer got infected by viruses and spyware. Specifically, the spysheriff junk, security warning popups which filled my entire desktop with garbage shortcuts to all manners of crude things and lots of warnings from my antivirus program of krap like trojan infected files in my windows and documents and settings folders. I was losing control of the computer, tonnes of popups kept coming up whenever you loaded up any page, the homepage was also being hijacked.

So... I found your website looking ffor help and read the sticky and carried out exactly what was suggested I do before posting problems on the forum.

The first thing it said to do was disable system restore, but unfortunately thats too late for me as my antivirus program has already found out that trojan and other virus infected files are trapped inside my System Restore information place already. I dont know what to do about that.

I downloaded all the prescribed programs and ran them all. I did the online trend micro virus scans, my own scans, ran adware, search and destroy, cwshredder, about blaster, avert stinger etcetera etcera and suffice it to say, it fixed my initial problems. Almost all the popups are gone, no more spysheriff, no more infected files warnings running rampant, no more homepage hijack or any of the other junk.

So, whats my problem then...

The day after i thought everything was fixed, i doscver 3 terrible things.

And these are,

a) Something keeps messing with my registry such that task manager keeps getting disabled on ALL accounts on my computer. So I downloaded a simple Registry Fix. Its Justs a single file you doubleclick which appends the registry to restore things to default. But unfortunately, its only temporary as say, the following day it gets disabled again. However, task manager (THANK THE GODS) is not being disabled on this account anymore. As you will see why i thank with the next problem

b) My second problem is this. I turn on my computer this morning and Windows explorer no longer loads up. All I get is a blank desktop on ALL accounts. So I think, oh, thats simple why dont I just run a new task, "explorer.exe" but alas, windows says that it DOES NOT exist. If use task manager to browse through my hard drive I can find and see explorer.exe the blasted executable in my windows folder but if i double click on it, it still says it does not exist. or as it specifically says, "windows cannot find it"

So, right now, I am without windows explorer and am using task manager to run windows. And because of my first problem, All other accounts can not do this because task manager is disabled. Hopefully, this account doesnt get it disabled like it had been before or i am just screwed.

c) My third problem is something i consider as something maybe much more serious. And that is,

I dont know what triggers it, but when something is triggered, hundreds upon hundreds of 8 digit scrambled number .exe files spawn in my windows system32 folder. About 100 create themselves every 60 seconds. But wait, it gets betters. About 10 minutes ago for the first time, something happened and all these files started to open themselves and run as processes! In a matter of moments my usual 20 running processes spiralled into 86 running process and it was growing every second. I started to lose control because too many processes were running so i didnt hesitate anylonger to hit the power button.

So i load my computer up again and the file spawning has stopped, for the time being, and the files are not opening themselves and appearing as a process running in the task manager.

I remember doing a count of these files, there is right now, approximately 5000 or so in the windows folder. they appear like this 1132738.exe, 118964.exe, increasing in amounts of 20 or 100. If i manually delete them as i discovered the first time i noticed them there, it triggers the spawning process.

So, what the hell is happening to my computerrrrrRRR !

I cant live off task manager forever. I need my windows explorer. And something has to be done about the spawning file trash.

I notice that everyone provides hijack this logs. How about I just throw one of mine into the mix.

Okay, the moment I posted the message web pages started closing and opening erratically, including this one and those spawning files that I mentioned, they to started to open and run as processes again. I shut down the computer straight away and now im back again.

Maybe its timed or something. Because right now nothing is happening but im getting the feeling that if it, after an amount of time happened once, and then twice its probably going to happen again.

And, i cant run any online scans because internet explorer will close after like 10 minutes. And if i ever close task manager things close too after a few moments. Stupid.
