    Not really a security issue,

    get a firewall
    run the av in safe mode
    get anti spyware tools


    I was secretly hoping this was going to be a VoIP thread :(

    don't forget to change permissions on the hidden folder "\system volume information" so you can do a virus scan on it too, other wise you will just restore the problem

    cacls or taking ownership should work
