I have had a virus on my pc for over two weeks now, I tried to get it resolved on another HijackThis forum but got no response. If I could get some help here it would be very much appreciated.
Symptoms:
I dont have access to my hard disk and all desktop shortcuts to software installed on it have been deleted, my desktop has been changed but I can't access the desktop properties, I can't access any of the usual windows tools like search/run/control panel etc they've all been removed from the windows menu, my pc is running a lot slower than usual, my internet is much slower than usual, if my computer is left running for a few minutes i get a blue screen warning (but when i press ESC it returns to my desktop), I've had lots of 'antiviral' programs installed on my computer without my knowing. These are the most major problems I've had.

What I've tried:
I have reinstalled ccleaner and adaware, and tried to look for problems. I have also installed bitdefender which has picked up on a lot of issues but couldn't do anything about them. After many scans, it has moved a lot of them, normally with names like Trojan.vundo/Trojan.BHO..., into quarantine. Now when I perform scans, it finds nothing, but I still have lots of problems. Also, bitdefender wont run in safe mode.
If someone would be kind enough to help me, I would be very grateful. I hope this is enough information, thanks.
NOTE: I have read the posting rules and to clarify, i did post on another forum but I had not received any help yet and the reason I have come here is that at the moment I am unable to access the other forum ( I think they are having server problems). If i get any help here I will be sure to get my other topic closed when the forum is eventually back up.
