Hi, I was online earlier today when suddenly the programs I had open (google chrome,msn messenger,voip phone)started shutting down on their own. A system tools scan then started, although I have not downloaded any programs of that name, then it took over my wallpaper with a warning message that my computer is infected and everything you ever do is forever stored on it etc. I tried to re-start the computer but that did not work, I tried to open the system restore program but it won't let me. I am unable to start in safe mode or safe mode with networking. I finally managed to open system restore and started that but now all the icons on the desktop are gone as is the start menu and the task bar at the bottom of the screen. I am having to use a different computer to post this. Any help is very much appreciated. My operating system is windows xp, I have avast anti-virus and spybot installed.
