My laptop just got wacked with viruses and malware ect...
Don't ask me how, have no idea... on min it was sat on my desk just showing my desktop next thing I know it went nuts...

I've got rid of most of it except It keeps closing explorer.exe and Iexplore every 30 seconds....

mcafee reports no viruses????
anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
 
my idea, mcaffee is crap

uninstall it
disable system restore

install, (update) & run these
ccleaner slim
nod32 trial
spybot s&d
adaware se
avg antispyware (remove afterwards)

then start using firefox with adblock plus (and the EasyList subscription)

After it's thoroughly infected?

Unless you can run checksums against the clean system before it got infected you aren't going to know if it's clean or not, re-format, reinstall the OS then do as Bleedy suggests.
