Need help...

I have gotten some viruses and can't get HijackThis to run. I have tried Merijn's solution to run CoolWWWSearch.Smartsearch killer, but it says no CoolWWWSearch.Smartsearch detected.

I then tried to run CWShredder, but it closes immediately I run it. I couldn't get anything to run in Normal Mode, as lots of cmd.exe windows keep popping up. There are also lots of vanebot.exe pop ups (in the form of command prompt windows).

I then tried with Safe Mode, and still has the same results. Is there any way besides reformatting? I will post up a screenshot if possible.
No edit button :?

Anyway, I removed Internet Download Manager and no more vanebot.exe or cmd.exe popping up.

However, I still can't get HijackThis to run. I have tried renaming it, but it can't run as well.

A screenshot of my Task Manager.



Another thing: avast antivirus keep giving me a warning that it has expired when I am using the free edition. :roll:

I can't uninstall it, the uninstall window pop up and close immediately.

I can't update Ewido as well, it closes immediately I open it.
Now my browser closes automatically by itself. :cry:
