Ever since I turned on my Malware Byte Protection Module, with Malicious Website feature turned on, about every 30 seconds it reports a website being blocked and from there, windows security essential stopped reporting anything from "c:/windows/system32/temp/setup.exe" so from there I knew I have some hidden virus somewhere blocking them.
I did 4 Anti-virus-malware scan from various trusted AVs and none of them found a virus.
The AV-Malware I use were:
Windows Security Essential
Anti-Malware Byte
Spybot Search & Destroy
and SuperAntiSpyware Portable
None of them found a virus and were up-to-date virus-check up database.
My MSCONFIG found nothing suspicious trying to run in the background.
Also, sometimes when I login the explorer.exe doesn't load, even though it is running so I have to manually go to Task Manager, Kill the process and start it again to load explorer.
Yeah a lot of problems, not even found by the AV-M. I'm not looking forward to formatting and reinstalling.

Ok I used Avast! but it found nothing.
I'm running a Avira AntiVir Rescue Disk to run a scan and apparantly thinks "Taskmgr.exe" is a trojan.

I got 13 infections from bullguard but most of them were from my visual basic programs. the others were a poor fellas. LOIC.exe
soo i'm still stuck i'm running a avast! full scan.

In safe-mode, the computer would load up faster then normal, but normal mode takes 10 minutes to load explorer.exe and won't let me do ctrl+alt+del to open task manager to try to kill the explorer.exe process and rerun it manually.
i really do think i'm infected, but no av or a-m will detect anything.
