Ok, I got any and all .exe's working (got a file on there and run the -silent command prompt)

So I can now run programs

Task Manager, however, is still grayed out, but I believe I can fix that since I can run regedit now

I forgot exactly what the link was, but I downloaded this "exefix_xp" application (after virus scanning on my computer, ofcourse) and it fixed it instantly

regedit gets a "registry editing has been disabled by your administrator" but I'm currently working on this problem

Right, now that exe's work, open Firefox and get a proper antivirus. Also, do you have another PC there? I mean, since you're posting to us and downloading stuff.

You have to get Spybot Search & Destroy, use Google. It's a good programs and searches for all the bad malware, trojans, worms,viruses, etc.

Then the program can delete all that, but you have to restart the computer. And some won't uninstall like mine. Some Zango advertisement malware program. i tried deleting again but nothing. Now I searched and you need to run this special program:

type services.msc into the run dialogue find them and turn them off.

You could also go to Task Manager. The first tab will be "applications." Go to the second tab "Processes." Then look for suspicious programs that shouldn't be running. Because they are all exe executables. If your not sure of this malware, trojan type it in "Google" with the ".exe" part.

Get Kaspersky Internet Security suite and if a program tries to do this to you it'll come up with a big red box and make a noise that scares the shit out of you that says something like "**** SHIT THIS SHIT IS A TROJAN TRYING TO ****ING DO SHIT **** YOU SHOULD ****ING DELETE THIS SHIT BEFORE IT DOES ANY BAD SHIT TO YOUR SHIT, DO YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS SHIT?" and ****ing prawns that virus in the face.

Virus scan has been going for nearly an hour now, and more than 16 viruses found and many, MANY malware/spyware/etcware found.

Computer is probably gonna be fixed and I'll get to putting my anti virus stuff on there.

I am writing this post with the infected computer.

Hello! :)

Antivirus got rid of nearly all the problems.

I got registry editing back up, and now I can unlock the task manager.

Got the desktop working back fine again, but I'm gonna replace the picture with something more... devious. :D

Otherwise, computer is working great.

*edit* Task Manager is now fully functional, and there doesn't seem to be any unknown or harmful things processing.

I can safely say this computer is now fixed (maybe not 100% though, but still, you can actually use it now)

Time to try out some games.
