Help with multiple viruses.

So i made the mistake of trying to download something from bitlord (never again) and as soon as it finished downloading i got a virus.

I tried going into my hard drive but a window popped up saying something like i needed to reboot to go into it or something.

I ran a full virus scan (using symantec) and it detected 2 viruses. One was like win32.rootkit or something like that and the other was like tool.infr! or something (sorry i don't remember the actual names).

It said the viruses were partially removed but i need to reboot the computer to get rid of them. So i did. When the computer started up a blue screen popped up saying symantec is trying to remove a virus and that the computer will boot once its done. After logging into windows a pop up from symantec appeared saying that it failed to register.

Today i started my computer up again and before logging into windows that blue screen came up again, saying that symantec is trying to remove a virus etc.

I downloaded malwarebytes, updated and ran a full scan. It detected a trojan which i deleted. But while malwarebytes was running symantec auto-detect popped up and showed something called "packed.generic.200" I chose to remove it. It was the second time that one came up.

I've done a live update of symantec and now i'm running a full scan again.

If viruses keep popping up i dont know what to do anymore.

Can anyone help me get rid of this crap for good?

Thanks in advance :)

Seems you've got yourself in quite a predicament. First, I'd advise you to uninstall that useless antivirus-wannabe Norton. Then, download Avast! Home Edition. Run a full scan - it'll take maybe 5-6 hours, but in the end, it will destroy many viruses.

If that doesn't work - download HijackThis!, get yourself a log, then go to TweakXP.com (or TweakVista.com), and post that log there. Experts will come and identify what kind of mess you've got yourself into.

And if THAT doesn't work - well, there's always the fail-safe last resort - reformat the computer completely.

well im using bitdefender and it did protect me from many virus attacks...but somehow i think that the viruses are made by the antivirus companies themselves...

EDIT:And yes i agree with the other poster...norton is useless...

How do i run it in safe mode?
