So i think it got infected with a nasty trojan or something so I decided to run avast
So i think i got infected with and I decided to run avast's boot time scan. Everything was deleted but now when I start the computer I am spammed with the following messages


On top of that i lost my drivers for internet. I go to device manager and all the network adapters have a ! next to them. I tried installing drivers for my motherboard and it kept saying Windows was unable to install drivers.

I tried system restore and everytime it said Windows was unable to complete system restore. no changes have been made.

Now the weird thing is, when I run avast, the "memory test" screen comes up but whens it done nothing opens up. If I try to open it up again, i get an error message saying the application was not found.
This happens with mal ware bytes as well.
I even tried hijackthis, and when it 1st opens up i can do a scan and save log, but once the scan is done even before it gives me the log it just instantly closes the program. When I try to reopen it, it does the same thing with avast, giving me the same error message and unable to open.

Any ideas on what else I can do?
