Computer "eaten" and totally malfunctioning

Sorry this problem kind of fits in both hardware and malware categories combined so I hope I posted in the right place. Got a rather strange problem and now its getting plain scary.

My co-workers told me over the weekend one of the "pop-up" fake security programs was appearing - not sure if anyone actually clicked it I hope/assume not. (>_<)

This morning I tried to run MBAM, and got through the install and update, to the scan screen. I started a scan, and about 8 seconds of enumerating registry objects, and then the program closed completely, just zap gone. Internet Explorer does not load at all.

I have tried several things since that period, and getting worse each time. Tried several times again with MBAM in both normal and safe modes. My McAfee a/v is disabled, if I try and turn "on" realtime scanning, it reverts back to "off" after 5 seconds. I tried installing/running Spybot, AdAware, and Microsoft Security Essentials, and could not get any of them to run. I've cleaned everything out with CCleaner also. I cannot even get Hijack to run.

At one point I thought it was the fake "Internet Security 2010" bug, and have tried to use RKill to at least get to be able to install/run MBAM, and still no luck. I also tried TDSSKiller program, which finds 2 pieces of malware, I choose cure, but they come back after every reboot. Then started receiving all sorts of errors about file access and privileges.

******* NOW MY NETWORK CONNECTION AND HARDWARE ARE JUST GONE!!! ******* As in, network hardware shows up with the little yellow warning arrow, I cannot get it to enable, nothing is detected for new hardware changes, no internet connections whatsoever, it's just not working even in safe mode.

I've tried everything. and even tried a Windows System Restore (fail) followed by trying to run a Windows Repair Installation, which loaded files until it hit a BSOD with a stop error.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.
