Writing this from laptop due to problems below with home PC.

When my daughter was on MSN, found that she was apparently sending virus' to her contacts. Shut down MSN, but immediately after this, unable to run anti-virus software, Spyware Blaster (Ad-aware SE would run but hasn't fixed main problems), unable to connect to security websites - programs just flash open and then close.

Unable to see System Restore options tab, and being prevented from changing the settings when running gpedit.msc

Unable to run Regedit - flash's open then close. Have tried all these in safe modes, but still the same. Even command prompt page disappears.

Various .exe's come back into Startup list, even after being disabled and trying to start in Safe mode. Two of them are: svhost, farmmext, but also lots of others that are not listed on Startup file lists (e.g. csnss, awdzm, Rcj6krn.

Please can someone help. I'm not a PC expert by any means, just been searching around on the net on my Work PC to see what might work, but with no success.

Thanks.
