Nasty virus or trojan

Jess · February 28, 2009

This virus blocks me from using any IM programs, slows down my PC, blocks most internet sites (except google and gmail). I'm running malwarebytes antimalware. Its been going for upwards of 7hrs. Its now at the C:/windows/winsxs directory. So far, nothing is showing up as infected.

Its going incredibly slow, should I restart and try again? After its done I plan to run hijackthis and post the logs of both here. Am I doing the instructions correctly? thanks!

PS the virus refuses to allow an update so its from 2/21 I believe. I did try to remame it before I started it but it still would not allow an update.
