So, I got this virus a little while back, I've been following the threads on resolving it to no avail. I'm running Windows 7 with Avast antivirus, I have MBAM installed. In fact, as soon as I realized I had a virus, I tried running MBAM, but the virus was faster. It shut my computer down, when I restart, I get a screen with safe mode in the corners and a window with the virus asking me to run a scan. I can't access the task manager. I followed a thread and made a disk of the bitdefender.iso. The scan found a single .exe file. I deleted it, and on reboot, the virus was still there. I've reached the limits of what I know how to do. I need help... I don't have a thumb drive, but, I have another computer with the ability to create CD's or DVD's...
