My computer has been having some problems and I managed to determine that the as2008xp virus was behind it. However, it has locked my task manager, regedit, and other system property managers. It has also removed the C: drive link from My Computer. I have the Hijack This log and will paste it below. I'm just looking for some possible ways to remove it without it simply repairing itself, thanks.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY PC.. I INSTALLED 'MALWAREBYTE'S ANTI-MALWARE DESTROYER'.. FREE DOWNLOAD.. - DO THE UPDATES 'N RUN THE 'QUICK SCAN'.. IN 'SAFEMODE! >> IT SHOULD FIX EVERYTHING..!

The program noted, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware,
an EXCELLENT program, and it IS ONE of the programs and steps requested in the sticky Read me before posting a request for assistance that the poster, WhtRhino, has been asked to run. I must remind all reading this that all steps in the sticky should be completed to assure that good clean up steps are taken. Then the logs should be posted so that they can be read to see if other steps are required. One has to assume that if there is one infection on the computer then there very well could be more. This is why more than one clean up step is recommended. One program normally does not fix all problems.

Noted.. - I certainly agree.
