Got a problem with a virus that i can't seem to get rid of...
I've wiped everything that i can think of that it could be: all my temp files, cookies, appdata and some others.

At the moment i get pop ups every few minutes via internet explorer (which i never use) to random add sites, or to just oddly named websites which return an error.

avg also sees anything i do or open as a threat:

Thought it was just AVG being funny until I started to get the popups.

Try booting into safe mode with networking

Better yet, download the app on another computer and burn to CD/transfer via USB stick etc. to the infected computer. You may have to install in safe mode. (Should work)

Reboot the computer and keep hitting F8 on start up. Select Safe Mode with Networking

Malwarebytes is awsm. I use it at work all the time. Othe protips if you ever need em:
-Some viruses won't let you install malwarebytes cause they know it'll pwn em. So rename the installer somethingelse.exe. 
-they can also drop the executable so go into the mb directory and rename the exe whareve you want.exe
-keep the installer on a pen drive. You'll need it again

1 more protip. Keep Windows updated with all critical/security updates.

Start - Run - MRT <enter>

I should have suggested that first.... I think there's a malicious removal tool for this fake virus alert thing... malwarebytes is better though.

my tip:

I know those shitty viruses that don't let you open anything (like ctrl+alt+dlt). If you don't go into safe mode (which you should but anyway) and as soon as you start-up, hit ctrl+alt+dlt and find the infected file/virus as it's loading and end process you should be able to work in normal mode (i.e. run stuff like cmd.exe and malwarebytes.exe and stuff you've downloaded that helps) until you've got it removed or know how to remove it (or restart and it loads again).

lol any good virus will either a) hide its process b) prevent it from being ended with task manager or c) load up and prevent task manager from opening way before any of the other processes start

anyway, use combofix

Backup important files, and then reformat.  Only sure way of getting rid of it.

Reformat?  Pfft.  Image backups are much easier.  Check out Windows Home Server for ease of use PC image incremental backups.

Nope.   In all seriousness though, when I have a virus/infection that is removing functionality from Windows, I typically reformat.  Not worth dealing with trying to remove it (and Like HaiBai points out, some of them hide themselves) when I can simply back-up and start over.

The thing is, a virus that is trying to hide itself that badly won't do something stupid like disable the task manager.  Then again, it depends on the virus.  However, if someone puts a Trojan on your computer, it's because they want something from you.  So the trojan will hide, and maybe after detecting that the user of the computer is idle, the trojan will start a upload to some dudes computer.  After a minute, it'll be done, and the user will never know.

So in that case, you should reformat everyday.

Or better yet, remove your network card from your computer.
