Got a Virus I think.	Can't Post

What's happening is that certain programs aren't functioning, like Soldat was damaged, and my iTunes won't play anything.
EDIT:
Bittorent and Mcafee don't work now.

Press Ctrl, Alt Delete, go to the processes tab.
Tell us anything that looks suspicious.
Have you downloaded anything recently?
Wait, youre a torrenter.

If you haven't got any kind of virus scanning software go to http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml and scan there.
Plus it could be some spyware which slows your computer and damages programs so download Spybot or ad-aware and scan.

If McAfee doesn't work anymore then don't put in anything like passwords because you probably have a virus that is destroying your programs. And if it destroys McAfee and all the other virus detection programs then you will be defenseless to any viruses.

If you haven't fixed it yet, try googlishing the procesess, to see if any of them are harmful. Also, you could try scanning and deleting stuff in safe mode.

Did you install anything recently, I would start uninstalling anything you installed and reboot your computer and see if the proformance of your computer speeds up or programs start working, I have noticed when customers download music, GAMES, videos sometime viruses are downloaded too. Or unistall programs affected run virus check.

I have to now. Every .exe won't work when I reboot.
I tried using an online virus scanner (my Mcfee doesn't work) but when I try to clean the files the browser closes.

Instead of the hassle, back everything up and just Re-Install..Thats what I would do anyway.

In my opinion, I think you have some nice little spyware. I found this website awhile ago and used it to check if I had spyware. Download the FREE trial and scan. You cant delete crap on the FREE trial so its basically useless after you scan your computer for spyware.

If you do have spyware and cant find something to remove it online go to a local Circuit City and ask the loser behind the counter if they sell computer protection programs. (At my Circuit City, last time I checked, they sold spyware remover, blockers, had trials for spybot, everything possibly usefull)

If you haven't fixed the problem then get Spybot Search & Destroy. It is awesome and is completely FREE. Just google it. It really helped me when I had some spyware.

do not remove or change any settings: doing so could serverely damage your system.
go to start> run then msconfig, go to the startup tab or services tab and tell me if there is anything suspect.

if you need help, start remote assistance with me over MSN
