Annoying virus I can't get rid of.
Okay so recently I got a virus that literlly f*ed my computer up. I can't access my hardrive what so ever. Right next to the time on my computer it says VIRUS ALERT! I've tried these programs with no luck of getting rid of the bastard. AD-Aware Free Edition, AVG Antivirus- Free Edition, and Spyware Doctor. Anyone help me out? :)

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
([url]http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe[/url]) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

by an expert in such matters, not here.**
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

If you tried all kinds of solutions and nothing work or if you give up, there is always * last resort: reformat your computer.
Good luck!
removing tough virus requires spybot
download and run spybot, download the updates, run, fix selected problems and then immunize.
then download ncleaner and clean system. careful copy any files out of My Received Files though as ncleaner wipes these by default, although that can be changed in the settings.
hope this helps
