so my comp was fixed for awhile, and thx for the help on that. but now i get popups every now and then, and when i run my virus scanners, it is telling me it failed to load, or i dont have the right access path, or something like that. i tried to run in safe mode and had the same problem. any advice? im also back to getting the blue screen.

Rich is probably right. And the virus seems to have disabled some of your facilities.

Can you set back to an earlier restore point ?? - that would be the easiest (if not disabled too).

If you go with the above, be very very sure, you go back before the problem. We dont want this to get worse.
In fact I would be very very cautious, but it is a viable solution

From the report in the above link

System Restore is a good safety net, and Microsoft was smart in implementing this feature. However for virus removal, there are much better options to use. And because of the nature of System Restore, it is not an effective option for virus removal. It’s nature is to copy files without making sure they are clean, and not allowing anti-virus programs to clean them inside of the restore volume. You’re much better off with having an effective anti-virus solution installed, and disabling System Restore during the virus removal process.
