Serious computer problem. Need help asap.

That's kind of your only hope as I see it at the moment Ty...

Either that or a rip and rebuild. 

I'd try shooting Gyrene, Gpwurzel, or Ink a pm to see how to recover your data if you can then do an R&R.  Get some good virus protection, install Firefox with noscript and adblock, and watch where you browse and what email attachments you open from then on. 

Bottom line is it sounds like you may have screwed the pooch and you might have to pay the piper.

Sorry man it sucks and I've been there and dealt with it when Squid and my ex stepped on their cranks. 

Good luck regardless.

Just did a system restore. still no luck  

The safe mode option is my only hope.

Have mirrored it here for you :

Make sure you have windows installer 2.0 installed (you should already)

Which OS are you running?

Where can i find my OS? i admit, im not very computer savvy.

[gpwurzel]

To find out what operating system (os) you are running, hit start, type in winver in the little rectangle above, or click run then type winver and hit enter.

You will probably find your registry has been corrupted by something - I'd suggest starting in safe mode (f5, f8 - choose safe mode with networking) and running malwarebytes asap.

Your other option is to go into safe mode with networking, open a browser and click on the link Steely kindly mirrored for you.

If you have a spare puter and can download/burn cd's

Another option

http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/removal/rescue-cd This is a rescue disk with a virus scanner. It will burn itself to a cd, and you boot your computer with it - select the av, and run it. It works in a unix shell, so doesn't rely on any of the windows processes being available.

Is windows 7 my OS? thats what pops up when i did as instructed.
Microsoft windows.
Version 6.1(Build7601:service pack 1)
If it makes any difference, i DO have another profile on this computer. That profile is not affected at all. Its only my main administrator profile that is.
Ever since this temporary profile junk has started to pop up, ive been going on to the other profile a bit.
But now suddenly whenever i log on, a message pops up, saying that the administrator profile wishes to make changes to my other file, But it requires my password to do so.
Thats never happened before, and ive been denying it access.

You have win7 home premium according to what you posted.
Is your other profile an administrator or a standard user? (can you change things, install things etc?)

If your usable profile is an administrator, I'd rename the other one, and delete it, retaining the files. Then create a new administrator profile. Be aware, if this is due to a virus or malware, your machine will remain infected, open to attack by downloaders etc and you will get hit again.

If you can download under your current profile, grab a copy of mse (microsoft security essentials - its free) and a copy of malware bytes (again, free) install, update and run them.

Once you clean them off your machine - move all your documents, films, music whatever to an external hard drive, and reinstall your operating system and drivers, programs etc - you will still be at risk if you dont.
