Pc Virus prob.. help me?

[urigeller_02]

I was running two anti-viruses simultaneously for months without any inconvenience though installed months apart.
The first install was Norton's 2006 ver, and the latter was 'Pc Tools Spyware doctor'
norton expired two days ago and i never re-subscribed, thinking that my Pc tools running would counter any threats. So as i no longer had any use for the Norton program, i chose to delete it to free up some space.
But since i've done that i've been battered with viruses, which are still screwing with my pc... what the hell happened ? And is there anything i can do other than a re-install ?

Cheers..
Ohh and, when i try to access task manager, it says 'Task master has been disabled by your administrator' ????????

Download the programs linked below. Install them. Update them. Scan your pc with them, and do so weekly.

If you have System Restore turned on, the Restore files may be infected, and trying to reinfect your pc. I turn off that feature, reboot to delete the files, then turn it on after a full system scan with AVG.

Turning off System Restore.
(right-click My Computer, Properties, System Restore tab, check the box to turn off System Restore on all drives.)

Restart your PC, and hold down the F8 key.
When you see the Boot Menu appear (black screen white letters), choose SAFE MODE.

Run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN with AVG.
You an heal or quarentine anything found.

You can also run Spybot and AdAware while in Safe Mode. I suggest you do a full system scan. Get rid of anything they find.

To exit Safe Mode, just restart your PC normally.

AVG Antivirus - Free Antivirus Software
(CNET: "AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is the most popular free solution available at no cost to home users and provides the high level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers.")

Ad-Aware - Free Antispyware Software
(CNET: "One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-Aware 2007's excellent reputation is well-justified.")

Spybot Search&Destroy - Free Antispyware/Antitrojan Software
Some REALLY great features of Spybot Search&Destroy: Its ability to help your PC block known spyware/hijacker sites with Immunize feature, a Secure Shredder for truly removing files from your PC, and Startup, which allows you to view the files starting with Windows.

SuperAntiSpyware
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition is 100% Free and will detect and remove thousands of Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, KeyLoggers, Dialers, Hi-Jackers, and Worms. SUPERAntiSpyware features many unique and powerful technologies and removes spyware threats that other applications fail to remove.

Hope this helps.

I would get a better anti virus like AVG or Avast. If your account on windows is limited then that means u are limited to do somethings. To change to administrator go to control panel, double click user accounts, then click on your account and press change my account type.
