Definitely have a Virus or very bad malware. Downloaded a file last night, after running, a fake security center window opened and began to “scan”. A few seconds after, the background changed and then the computer blue screened. Now whenever I try to boot, it just shows My Documents and then nothing else happens. The virus/malware disabled the task manager from opening, so I can’t run explorer.exe. I have no start menu of desktop icons. All I get is the My Documents window. I’ve looked around at some other sites and seen that its probably a registry error, as well as a virus/malware. However I can’t access my reg edit, since no start menu or run command available.
Have tried booting in safe mode, but same results happen. System Repair does not work either, even with recovery disk inserted.
One other note, I tried to access Task Manager and System Restore by using the Help window from mydocuments, and I get a message saying it has been disabled by a group/policy. (This group/policy being my infection)
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am computer-savvy so don’t hold back! Just a little stuck right now

Hi, jmurrell, I’m guessing you will need a rescue disk.
This is the rescue disk of choice is hiren’s and the download-link will be found via this link: http://www.hirensbootcd.net/
Hiren’s Boot CD is a boot CD containing various diagnostic programs such as partitioning agents, system performance benchmarks, disk cloning and imaging tools, data recovery tools, MBR tools, BIOS tools, and many others for fixing various computer problems. It is a Bootable CD; thus, it can be useful even if the primary operating system cannot be booted. Hiren’s Boot CD has an extensive list of software. Utilities with similar functionality on the CD are grouped together and seem redundant; however, they present choices through UI’s differences and options in what they can do.
