Explorer Will Not Load, States Explorer.exe Contains Virus
I am currently in safe mode now, but each time I boot normally, I only get a blank screen with a cursor. When i ctrl/alt/del I see other processes necessary for windows, but now explorer...when i manually start it, i get the error that it contains a virus and cannot load.
I've been struggling with a rootkit problem for the past week, finally got rid of it, but after the damage has been done to my system.
I currently have SP1 installed, tried to uninstall it, went through the motions to uninstall but still states i have SP1. I cannot use my Win7 disk to Upgrade since I have a newer version than the disk.
I also cannot Custom install, states that i cannot instal windows to the selected drive, which is my C (system). I have about 50gb remaining on this drive, so im not sure what the problem is.
As of now, I just need to get explorer going again. I've tried /scannow from cmd along with MRT.
