Oh *censored.3.0* you Jason. I'm being serious. If you can't answer then you shouldn't be posting.

I've tried booting up in Safe Mode but I can't connect to the Internet. I've tried running my antivirus program but it isn't loading because of this virus which is telling me that I have billions of viruses. Which I only have one and that is this Security Suite virus. I haven't tried to boot up in Safe Mode Networking but what I've been reading it won't work. I'm needing answers ASAP.

I'm having problems finding my disc.

I have tried to look in MSConfig which will show what it is in my startup and it won't show anything of the virus. I have three virus programs that will take care of it but it is blocking.

What I'm trying is looking in Add & Remove. Will reply when I try.
 
I couldn't find the program in Add & Remove, I have gotten accsess somehow to Malware Bytes.

Will reply soon.

And I got that, too, once. But, for some reason, it was gone the next day.
Please actually help. I can't install any programs and I can't go on the Internet. I was going to try using my USB to get a program to kill the virus but I'm wondering will that USB also get infected?

Please reply with helpful tips to remove it.
 
Could you explain what the issue is first?

-You have a virus
-Need to uninstall virus software

I would suggest disabling your virus software, for whatever you're trying to do. Or try removing it with the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

If all else fails, go to Local Disk (C:)/Program Files/Security Suite
and see if you can delete that folder. (Not sure if it would be there.)

If none of that works, not sure how to help.

But surely throwing your computer off a building would eradicate the problem. Maybe you should try beating it with a sledgehammer?

Or, y'know, you could do the smart thing and ask for help on somewhere like Yahoo Answers or a tech-related forum, instead of a forum dedicated to Animal Crossing with half of the members either being clueless about computers or they're trolls.

Or, as previously said, use google :)

Added something.
 
Ok, I believe I've had this virus before. Does it disguise itself as a fake virus scan and say you cannot open any programs because "Windows believes this program is infected" etc etc?

Exactly! May you please tell me how you removed this program fake virus program?

@Rorato (sp?)
I've tried looking for the folder but i haven't found any luck of finding it. Is it hiding as a different name?

If anybody can help me connect to the Internet in Safe Mode then that would really help me out.

Ok, go to Start>Control Panel>Change Startup Programs. You will find the virus under a tab called "Unknown" or whatever. I forgot the exact name of the virus, but you should notice it. Once you find it on the list, click disable. This will stop it from popping up all the time. Once you disable it, find the folder it's hidden in. Windows Startup should tell you where it's file location is. Delete the virus once you find it. Delete the entire folder if nothing is in it except the virus. Now I gotta go for a few hours. I'll check back for results later.

Appreciate it.
 
I would suggest cleaning your registry after doing what beehdaubs said, just to make sure it's not hiding in the after-recycle bin. (After deleting it in the recycle bin)

And if you need new virus software at some point, get Kaspersky Internet Security. It's constantly updating for new viruses.
