Trendmicro found 2 viruses and were deleated, I then tryed ewido's onlinescan it found 300 infections and i deleated those. symantec and stinger , which were recomended to me didnt work beacause i cant load anything download. can somone please help me i have thousands of dollors in software and i dont wanna lose it all but if i have to i will re-instal windows xp if i can even get that to work but thats as a last resort....

Hya CWB , welcome to PCHF.

Can you ask those people what they did when it started? And seeing that there is a bunch of malware on there , try to follow the "Prework" instructions (see link below in my sig) in safemode. (hit f8 when booting up)

Have you also tried running apps in safemode?

And see if you can start apps like this: ctrl/alt/del , press "file" and then "new task". then below the "run" box , use the "browse" button to find apps.
