I think i have a pretty nasty virus,
Yesterday when i went to use my desktop I noticed that the only website i could get to was Google, and all i could do from there was perform searches, nothing else. Every time i clicked on a link or typed in a website i got an hourglass mouse for a 1/2 a second and then nothing, it made almost no attempt to connect. So i rebooted and then i couldn't connect to anything at all. And it was doing the same thing.
That was yesterday. I just got home from work and now i cant boot at all but just in safe mode. When i try "start windows normally" i get nothing, the screen for boot selection doesn't even go away and if i try last known good configuration it sits at a blank screen.
I tried to get avg running on it but in safe mode i cant complete the install because it cant edit the registry (i think?) so im not sure what to do from here if i cant even boot normally to install the anti virus.
