Hi,
I'm on vista home premium x64 and I think a massive virus just hit my computer. I was browsing the net using firefox when I clicked on a bad link which closed firefox without prompting and opened up a program called "Vista Anti-Virus 2011." This program kept on begging me to register it to which I said no to. I closed that program but found that when I clicked on other applications such as Microsoft Office or itunes, the mouse would go busy as if the program were about to start but would not start or show up in the applications part of the task manager. I rebooted but the same problem arose. Then I tried to restore the system but even the system restore program won't open.
I desperately need some help fixing this as that computer has a lot of work on it and I lack the time or money to call a professional. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you.
