I am curious why you can't use erecovery. Why is this? Did you delete the partition?
If the partition is there boot into safe mode and use erecovery to burn and drivers and apps dvd. This will require 1 blank dvd.
Even if you decide to take the previous posters suggestion to fix the virus's which i would also suggest as recovery should always be the last option you would still want to create this disks as it makes it much easier to do a recovery if necessary. Also acer drivers are a pain as their website is not all the good for getting drivers and usually doesn't contain all of them you need.
