__________________my house has 4 computers in total yesterday i discoverd a virus on my mothers pc something like "Bronktok" or something...well if that wasnt bad enough my brother suddeenly got it,but his in now unusable,my in almost there..... I random restarts everytime i try download smomething..... I have a random restart every time i try to install something.... Found the virus in "My pictures" from what i see it is a web page file or firefox document.... I tried to download Spybot search and destroy, AVG,but it restarts everytime im just about to save it.... Got it on another pc,put it on a flash disk but as soon as i get to any folder on my WHOLE PC that a .exe ( think) it JUST RESTARTS!?? I think it may be keyloggin me because some really wierd things are happening to my small cursor that changes when you type,the one that looks like a "I" its blinking really quickly and doing random stuff like dissapearing.... Ive tried Safe mode ive have tred everything..... PLEASE HELP: oh, and i think it disabled my "folder option button" in "tools" in a window... (the one you use to view hidden files....)

if you can get any important docs out of it safely, I would DBAN the hard drive then do a fresh install.

Did you try running antivirus in safe mode from a flashdrive?

Most of the time you can boot up into Safe Mode and that will do it. If this is not the case and if at all possible, run the main hard drive as a slave(considering you have a spare with OS installed). This would at least allow you to attempt to retrieve data, possibly try to rid of the virus while youre in there and go from there. This is what I have done in the past while being in your situation and it has worked most of the time.
