I believe my desktop PC to be infected with some type of virus, but I am uncertain. To make matters worse, I can't get to the internet on it, and running programs of any sort can be a hassle. (and seeing as I don't have Hijackthis installed on it, nor can I install it likely, obtaining a log is highly unlikely)
These are my symptoms:
1. Slower startup, even explorer.exe takes forever and a day to start
2. Shutdown of svchost.exe the moment I do startup "has generated errors and will be closed by Windows." - and this is before my start menu even shows up. Sometimes the message displays twice.
3. Unable to cut/copy and paste files at all.
4. Error message displaying the following: "The system process 'C:\\WINNT\system32\services.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code 128. The system will now shut down and restart." From there, I have a 60 second countdown. However this I can prevent just by changing the date on my PC.
I've tried to run McAffee to scan, but the program never runs. Firefox neither - it "generates errors" and is shut down shortly. McAffee doesn't even do that - the exe just runs for a second or two then shuts down.
Any advice greatly appreciated, God bless.
