Infected by virus, it is in root and recovery partition


Recommended Posts

My computer is infected with a virus, recovery partition infected also, when I noticed virus files, computer was rebooted and I was able to talk to some stranger who was trying to test my programming skills via command prompt , they said they had software that would change how everything works , I noticed files encrypted but could make out their goal of crippling major companies etc, anyway I did try the programming like an idiot, couldn't do it. The virus is still in my computer, I bought a new laptop and after returning it three times as each one contained the virus, I'm in process of rebooting my windows 7 computer which won't reboot unless I leave the wireless on, what do I do ?

4. Double-click on the mbar.exe file, you may receive a User Account Control prompt asking if you are sure you wish to allow the program to run. Please allow the program to run and MBAR will now start to install any necessary drivers that are required for the program to operate correctly. If a rootkit is interfering with the installation of the drivers you will see a message that states that the DDA driver was not installed and that you should reboot your computer to install it. You will see this image:
