cavu

Well, after reading everything I could on this site, I used the process listed at: "MBAM wont install or will not run. - CLB Rootkit driver=TDSS/Seneka/GAOPDX/UAC" and using the tool from rootrepeal.googlepages.com I found traces of the MSIVX rootkit which I "wiped" using that tool. Once that was done, Malwarebytes was able to run and remove 20 more components of MSIVX. I am now running again.

I am using a different computer.

It boots up and looks generally normal but the symptoms I first mentioned are all present.

I use "Shaw Secure" which is actually "F-Secure".I have powered it up and down several time with no change.

Something has seized my XP Pro SP3 computer. Firefox & MSIE will not load. Chrome loads but goes to only redirected sites. Neither HiJack This nor Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (already on computer) will load. Restore doesn't work. CCCleaner restore doesn't work. Same problems in Safe mode. Please help.
