VIRUS - black screen, no option for "start task manager" cant open anything

floods7 · Nov 29, 2012

Hey guys I was on some porn site and got a nasty virus.

Following is a description of the virus:

- Black screen, cant see anything but a small icon of an standard application box, when I start in safe mode I get the words "safe mode" in the four corners like normal but still nothing but black screen.

- When I push ctrl+alt+del it goes to the normal screen but there is no option for "start task manager" its the all the other options. (this also happens in safe mode.

- If I push the windows key the start menu pops up for a brief second but goes away quickly, I cannot click on anything nor can I see anything but that black screen with that small pic of a application. I cant access the registry or run any programs.

What should I do?

I tried running the win 7 pro installation disk but when I click "repair computer" it says that this disk does not match your OS version.

I am running Win 7 pro 64gb
On a custom build computer

Any help would be great thanks!
