Fake AV - Please Help!
Well, this has happened before but this time the solution didn't work..

My PC keeps restarting once it reaches http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jqilHrNh69...BTw/s400/m.gif that screen. It'll start to load, then like freeze for 1.5 seconds and appear as if you just turned the computer on.

It'll say windows didn't reboot correctly last time, ect., ect., and you can pick Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Last Known Good Config, and Start Windows Normally. NONE of those work.. it gets to the screen posted above then restarts again..

The only way I'm in, is I was able to get in by going to Debugging Mode through F8 at the startup..

Once in, I updated Malware Bits, installed and updated Avira, and updated Spybot Search & Destroy. I ran Malware Bits, then after that was done, ran Avira and Spybot together. Then, while waiting for Spybot to finish (wasn't done after Avira finished), I ran MW Bits once more.

All of them found problems (With the second MW Bits finding 1). Then, after all that I went to Spybot S&D and I did Immunize, deleted some of the System Startup processes that I knew wasn't suppost to be there by default (after unchecking them), and even did a System Internals scan (registry) and..

I still have the problem.

Please help! I don't know what else to do. xx;

Thanks!

Oh, and the reason I think it's a fake AV is because the FIRST time I logged into Debug Mode, there was a fake AV down there, and it wouldn't let me run Malware Bits and it kept saying, when trying to install Avira, that my PC wasn't safe from viruses, and to upgrade, and it prevented me from launching MW Bits and Spybot Search & Destroy, but I was able to installed Avira. Only thing, is that it kept showing those messages. I was able to get into Task Manager, though, and I found the process and killed it. Then, I was able to do all the above. o.o The fake AV didn't show up after I rebooted, ect.

Here's my HJ This log;

I asked my cousin about it, he works on computers for a living. He's also giving me suggestions to help fix it. Yesterday, he gave me this Windows XP disc and told me to put it in while I had my PC on, and then go to cmd and type in "sfc /scannow" and that it'd check all my system files or something like that and replace all of them that were missing, damaged, or tampered with or something like that.

Anyway, that didn't work. Honestly though, my PC seems alright other than that. Still no signs of that fake AV, perhaps it's something else and that fake AV was only a small part of it? Idk, I'm stumped.
