Okay so I have a huge problem I was just watching t.v. other day and looked over and my computer was spazzing out like miillion lil command prompts were coming up with random numbers so like any untechnological person i went stright for plug like "OMG SOMEONES HACKING ME ILL STOP EM BY UNPLUGGING IT ALL!" and now it worse like here some issues-
1, I have to keep remaking new profiles because after so much time on one it gets so bad like enet stops working and blocks my antivirus and task manager so i will delete and make new computer profile and that works until it happends to that one and so on.
2, seems to only happen when i leave compuiter on over night.
3, I think someone may have a logger on me or something idk tho.
4, Anti Virus is not deleting whats wrong and idk what is wrong.
5, Things slowly get BAD like last computer account my task manger was gone antivirus was gone somehow ended up with a internet that looked like Windows 98 hellas old, and yea also sound but now with new profile it all is back to orgiinal......UNTIL IT STRIKES AGAIN :O

How about you provide a smidge more info.
Such as;
What OS do you have (Such as Windows 7, Vista, XP, ect)
Can you access safe mode?
Do you have a Windows installation disk?
-If not, do you know if your computer has a recovery partition?
Do you keep backups? (If not, shame on you.)
What have YOU done (Specifically) to try & fix it?
And anything else that may help me (or someone else) help you.

For now disconnect your PC from the internet.

Disconnect. Then go into safe mode. Rescan delete all viruses. Still doesn't work use avira. I used it and never got any viruses. I even quarantined some as experiment that were not caught by norton before I reformatted c drive.

Ideally. Kind of a trial and error process. If it is a bad trojan you might have to manually delete infected files.

why do people still use windows......?
i've kinda used 3.1(DOS) and 98, and they're okayish...otherwise opensuse 11.3
about your virus...
i reccomend ditching windows. use ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.org) with wine (http://www.winehq.com) installed on it or something.
i could help you with that.
but it is entirely up to you.

Get a External hard drive, if you haven't fixed it yet and put all your possessions in there. Like pictures, documents and other important stuff. Then completely reset your computer. My sis did this with my computer, which had a pretty serious virus and now, it works like a god. I love her for fixing it. We saved money too!

unless you have important things on there reformat your hard drive. WARNING IF YOU REFORMAT ALL INFORMATION I LOST THIS WILL RETURN IT TO HOW IT WAS WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE BOX! to do this on most windows computers just shut it down and turn it back on (don't restart) when it turns back on there should be a loading menu or other menu screens. look for something that says reset or something with settings and says to press a function key (F2 or F10 normally) and then follow the on screen instructions.

Yeah... Two of my friends had exactly the same problem... Reinstalling windows even could n0t solve the problem...
Then i deleted ALL of the partitions(drives) in their computer and formatted the whole Hard drive, made new partitions, gave a fresh windows install, installed updated antivirus and all the problems were gone and it was like a new bought computer...
And if any other solutions dont work , then there will be no other way left to save your computer without this way.
