HELP! Virus/Spyware CANT DO ANYTHING
Hello,

System Security 2009 popped up on my machine a 12 hours ago. I know what it was immediately and tried to shut it down using Task Manager. Also my anti-virus program was fighting against it - deleting, ect. In the midst of this chaos I restarted my computer. Upon restarting heres what happened:


While there are no System Security pop ups...
Start Menu/bar is missing
Folder options missing
Unable to open Control Panel
Unable to search
Unable to open Internet Explorer - blinks on before virus shuts it down
Unable to run regedit.exe - "Blocked by Administrator"
Unable to make changes in gpedit.msc - I access it correctly but can't double click anything - says "not configured" for everything.
Unable to open any .exe; prompts "Choose program" making Malwarebytes useless.
Unable to open CD or flashdrive with regtools.vb or malwarebytes like programs

I am not able to do much. I can bring up the task manager and cmd.

I have researched countless forums all day to fix this problem with no luck. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Let me know you have any questions.

Thank you,
