[Kayen]

Was on 780tuners.com

And then i got swarmed by a bunch of shit.

and now virus.
Can't open exe's

Pix to follow. I had to send it to someone on msn, waiting for send back.

AND BS Antivirus software.
So i can't open anything .

This is why I love Linux.

Download this.. then run it. It should close the "BS Antivirus Software" you speak of.

Now you can run applications. So take this time to download, install, update, and run malwarebytes..


Malwarebytes

Do a full scan.

That should do it.

Security Tools?

Malwarebytes for the win.

Do what Jake_HT told you and you should be OK.
But that's why "classic" AV's are useless. Do yourself a favor and use a firewall and a HIPS doubled by Firefox + NoScript and AdBlock.
Or use Sandboxie for browsing.

Sounds like "Antivirus 2009/2010/2011" to me. If I recall they actually install a sandboxie on your machine and run it from there.

All the same crap, different name (security tool seems to be the most popular these days, and you can insert "Vista/XP" in front of the Antiviruus 20XX names that you've mentioned). Hell, there's even one out there calling itself Security essentials, only this one is a "trial version" that wants you to pay for the full version.....

well yeah it's some fake av software trying to get me to install their stuff, i actually run AVG free (not that great anymore..)

Anywho, problem solved! Thanks guys .

Any firewalls you'd reccomend i run ?

av wise, use avira. been good to me, usually.
