Hello,
Recently, there has been strange occurrences on my computer. I came across an Antivirus Pro 2010 setup and was a bit reluctant, but ended up installing it without realizing that it was actually a spyware/virus.
Now that it is installed,my computer is screaming with the fan (probably due to extreme memory usage), task bar icons are popping up revealing that I have a virus, and other functions of my computer are inaccessible.
EDIT:
I tried to uninstall this using the uninstaller that came with this software, but it has not totally rendered my computer inaccessible. All I am able to see is a black screen with the cursor. I tried accessing windows using safemode and the same error exists. At this point I'm very worried as there are some crucial programs that I need on this computer :[
I ran through a hijack this console, and came with the following results:

Thanks for your help!
I am somewhat computer literate. I know the following terms: OS, msconfig, regedit, malwarebytes and hijackthis.
