So I go surfing around the web today just to kill a little time and I got hit hard

My laptop is running at 100% CPU useage constantly and won't let me open up any applications at all. Guess its time for a new drive since Ithink this one is as infected as it can get....god this pisses me off:mad McAffee didn't catch it, AdAware did nothing, neither did any of the other protection I have in my comp.......FUKK YOU YOU FUKKIN VIRUS CREATORS

Won't work if I can't open anything up at all. I can't even get the most basic functions to operate. I get to the desktop then it is locked up and in Safe Mode it does the same thing. They really screwed me on this one.

Yeah so what should my task list look like and what is absolutely neccesary to operate on?

Amazingly enough it wasn't a porn site that did this to me, I was actually searching for photography portfolios when it happened. Seems a lot of sites have become infected with autoloaders anymore and it really sucks

All fixed finally.

After a bit of work I got McAffee to work in safe mode and scanned through all my files and came up with one single virus file. I followed that up with Adaware which found 24 files (one file more than in regular boot). Then I ran CWShredder and it cleaned out a file called SearchX.

So finally my laptop and my browser are 100% back under my control.
