Windows 7 explorer.exe virus

[Geness]

Hey, I seem to have ran into a problem while turning my computer on. Seems my computer caught an infection, my desktop shows nothing but a black screen along with the mouse.

To be honest this isn't surprising as I had the anti virus off last night due to a suspicion that the anti virus was blocking my games launcher as this has been an issue in the past. I didn't think having it off for literally 2 minutes would cause me to catch something so nasty but it happened.

I'm currently using the task manager to navigate through everything atm including the forums, I have malware bytes running and it has found the problem. I used Avast before hand but it wouldn't let it repair it due to it being writen or some crap along those lines.

Anything else I should be trying as I'm kind of new to this problem.


Edit: I tried launching the explorer.exe from task manager and it literally said "Operation could not complete succesfully because it contains a virus".

Try the antivirus tools out of the ole http://www.computerforums.org/forums/cyber-safety-computer-security/pc-cleanup-toolbox-219988.html except for blackviper which is for the more advanced users..

I used majority of those programs the other few are just clean up software.

Trend micro's online scanner (Free Online Virus Scan - Antivirus Software - Trend Micro USA) and comodo's bootable CD (Comodo Rescue Disk for Windows, Download Rescue Disk Software)are also good options for trying to clean up infections which are messing with your live system.

Also if you going to use the anti-virus software or the cd, i would boot up to safe mode before using the software or cd so that nothing is running in the back ground. This will give you a better chance at getting rid of that virus.

Unsuccessful thinking about just pulling my music and photos to an external and reinstall windows because this is quite a frustrating virus

Have you got a backup of your files already, If so then wipe the drive and reinstall Windows..

Okay so I just turned on the computer but it seems the tool bar and the icons decided to show itself again. This virus is throwing me for a loop I feel seriously trolled right now.

I have my avast running, going to have the malware bytes go soon after.
