I stupidly downloaded Myspace's web content viewer and ended up the a horrible virus. System Mechanic has not gotten rid of it, McAfee has not gotten rid of it and I can't reformat because my disc is not usable. I have limited funds so cannot just run out and try another virus program. This thing is eating my memory and has locked most of my programs including Internet Explorer. I am starting online classes in a few days and need a solution fast.

Go here and download this.I got a virus from myspace.Called virus burst that put a yellow triangle on my task bar with a ! in the middle,If this something like it do not click on triangle,only adds more junk.This is one of the best programs for virus like this and it works great.It is a 30 day trial but it will do the job.This kind of virus over rides your system so it can not be detected.

You can run a free online scan from Trendmicro. When I have tested it it takes some time to run it but it may be time well spent if it can fix any problems.
Download and run http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
If the above programs can not fix it. I bet HijackThis will.
Download HijackThis---http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php#hijackthis. Run and Save a Log. When you log comes up copy and paste the entire log at http://www.hijackthis.de/ . Analyze your results. You will then get a screen that will tell you if you have any nasty stuff in your computer. Follow instructions to deal with any nasties. CAUTION: This is a very powerful tool. Be careful.

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

You could try "system restore" and back date your system to a date before you picked up the virus.
