My AVG won't update because of the virus so I can't remove it with that. I can't go to any site to download any spyware or virus scans. I somehow no longer have administrative control over the computer. When I click on the start menu I don't have access to control panel or My Computer or anything really! Any suggestions on what I can do to get control back of my computer and get rid of this nasty virus? Down in the right hand corner next to my clock it says VIRUS ALERT! I have a Window Genuine Advante icon on my toolbar that wasn't there before. My homepage is hijacked by Ultimatecleaner 2007. I'm at a loss. I can't run scans in safemode because i can't get to my programs. I can't do anything! Please someone HELP!!

  1. when the computer boots press f12 or one of the boot keys(its different for every computer) it should do system recovery and it will be all better.


  2. you should give system restore a shot! start>programs>accessories>system tools>system restore. restore back to another date and then run your anti virus. should resolve issue without reimage.
