Hi guys,

I am having trouble removing a virus that keeps task manager from turning on and prevents me from installing any anti virus or malware program. (The virus used to make this weird shutdown countdown thing start, but it stopped. I dunno how I did that). I tried installing using Hijack This, but that won't start either. I am using my clean computer right now and I 've already tried installing it here and moving the installed files to the infected computer. I 've already solved the task manager problem by tweaking the registry a bit, but I don't know what to do from here.
