Windows Defender Virus

[ohnooooooo]

So now in 2011 twice now I have been hit with the fake Windows Defender Virus. This literally erased my last machine. Up pop a few screens saying you have a virus and it is the virus. There are several (fake) discussion forums that claim to have a fix. Some suggest Malwarebytes but want you to buy some other less effective outdated virus program.

So now I am hit a second time- Last time machine was trashed after starting up a few times. Enod/Eset did not see it and was loaded at the time. Nor does malwarebytes. It makes your c drive empty. Kills you very fast.

So I have not restarted since infection and ran a few virus and malware programs. Several trojan agents found but no one is really talking about how to remove this one. I think on restart it will be game over.

Restart in safemode? Then re-run Avira-Malwarebytes-superantispyware???????? Any suggestions? I only have this chance after purchasing another machine from after the last wipe-out and then went to the same site somehow again (it was in an old list of sites). OOps.

Any input appreciated.
