This is not a pretty infection. From this link, download one of these Antivirus rescue CD's. It will be in the form of an .ISO file. FREE Bootable AntiVirus Rescue CDs Download List
Hopefully you have the use of another computer!

Burn the .ISO file to a CD using ImgBurn (Installs the ASK toolbar unless you opt-out during setup...uncheck it!) ImgBurn download and reviews from SnapFiles
Burn the CD at a slow speed. Make sure your BIOS is set to boot from CD/DVD, then put the rescue CD in and run.

If this was my computer, I would wipe and do a clean install.

No one can guarantee that you won't have problems down the line with a Bootkit/Rootkit involved! :cry:

A bootkit is a boot virus that is able to hook and patch Windows to get load into the Windows kernel, and thus getting unrestricted access to the entire computer. It is even able to bypass full volume encryption, because the master boot record (where Stoned is stored) is not encrypted. The master boot record contains the decryption software which asks for a password and decrypts the drive. This is the weak point, the master boot record, which will be used to pwn your whole system. No one's secure!

Hello Hopelessitguy Jacee is 100% right how do I know because I am going to be down for 2 or 3 days while I do a Complete Factory Restore on my computer. I made some error's on mine that should have not happened knowing what I know and yes it will take you a while but in the end you will have your system back like it is brand new. Jacee will you tell everyone I will be back up and running in 2 or 3 days and then back on the forum. Thank You

Ok so before I just go and kamikaze my computer I booted it in safe mode. It runs successfully. So any ideas what's killing it now after following the instructions to bootrec /Fixmbr.

Tried to do system restore in safe mode. I get the following;

To perform an offline system restore you must specify which windows installation you would like to restore.

A reinstall was the best thing to do.
Now, do you have anything you want to keep on the computer?

EDIT: It is not a windows resource protection issue now it is a Trojan and from what Jacee says not a nice one

I will see about continuing this after I return from an appointment. I thank you all for the help so far, but anyone know why things just went bad to worse? I mean going from semi functioning to dead due to fixes doesn't make much sense to me. And more concerning to me is I don't have a clue about how this happened in the first place. (please don't get me wrong I am really grateful for the assistance)

So this will resume when I get back.
