Vista Total Security Virus

I managed to get this virus on my computer. It only appears every once in a while and I mostly got rid of it through use of malwarebites and deleting items in the registry and ending processed through task manager, but it still has some effect.
For example, I can’t open any type of application without using “run as administrator.” I can’t access the internet occasionally. I’m not sure what else to do, I believe I’ve deleted everything, but I can’t get a normal scan while on ym file, and when I did one on the admin nothing was detected. help?

if its that bad you should probly bring it into a shop before it causes worse damage. I had a virus that after about a month I couldnt open any of my files and then my screen went black and i had to take it in anyway :( it sucks but you have to do what you have to do.

I think I’ve gotten that virus before. I was able to get rid of it by going into safe mode, and then using a combination of rkill and malwarebytes anti-malware

Did you try searching for tutorials on removing it on the internet? You shouldn’t manually try manually removing a virus like this on your own, unless you really know about computers. Even then, getting help is still a good idea…

I did a quick search, maybe this site will help you out. http://www.virusremovalguru.com/?p=5900
