windows 7 permissions

For how long have you had these virii?

If only a few days and you have a system restore point before that, you are better off booting up in safe mode with command prompt and typing rstrui.exe to do a system restore. This'll be the easiest and quickest solution.

If this solution is not possible, you'd be better off doing a repair install. If you need instructions you can find them here:

I will try these your option 1 first - will get back after I try that

What did you use to check for viruses?

back your data up... email, photos, music, serial numbers, etc...
Belarc is a good tool

With a bad infection, you can end up with a non-booting PC.  

if you have the media available, you can probably fully reload a PC in 3 or 4 hours, or easily spend 5 times that trying to clear an infection, and never be confident that it's utterly gone.

I have pckeeper installed for virus protection

I am running the app that Nick Rhode suggested now

also looking at how to run a backup that DanCh99 suggested

IE has been fixed, however I still get the error message on outlook

You don't have appropriate permissions to perform this operation



DanCh99  is this backup software?

the web page says it just tells you what you have installed

I really need a good backup software

A system repair install may be worth your time (at this juncture).

Give the free edition of superantispyware a shot.

Belarc is really handy for rebuilds as it lists the software that you have, plus the serials.

If you don't have a backup software preference already, I'd suggest you look at CrashPlan:

after executing all of these scripts and several reboots my system is functioning again

Great. You did it. :-)
