Virus prevents Hijackthis or gmer to run ?

Hi there!

I've been through several websites but unfortunately I cannot run any of the exe to produce a log. They are all blocked by something.
I reckon I have a malware: My AVG is crashing whenever I click on it, same with IE or firefox when I go to an antivir website.

Am I doing something wrong to install Hijackthis? (double click) ?
If I take my C Drive out, can I run a standard antivirus from another computer successfully ?

Thanks and Merry Chritmas

We understand that you are having difficulty running certain programs, including HijackThis. However, in order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a HijackThis log, and it is possible you may be able to trick the malware into letting you do this. First, download HijackThis to a clean computer, then rename it from HijackThis.exe to any other name you want, using an .exe extension, for example... YourLastName.exe. Once you have done that, burn it to a CD (preferable to using a flash drive that may easily become infected) then transfer the renamed file to the infected computer and run a scan, then start a new topic and include your HijackThis log.

Please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your HijackThis log. If you are unable to create and post a HijackThis log, then your only option may be to reformat your computer and reinstall the operating system.

This topic is now closed. Please start a new topic by following the HijackThis Guideline posted here, just be certain you rename HijackThis: >Guideline for posting your HijackThis log<
