Yesterday, I went to a bad website (I guess? Don't know how) and my firewall (comodo) suddenly started going weird and saying all these viruses/spyware were trying to connect to the internet and thankfully I blocked them, but they kept trying to connect so I turned off my network card and start working on getting my computer clean.
I ran comodo antivirus and cleaned up what I found. Afterwards, I downloaded spybot and cleaned it all up. I attempted to download and installed AVG and it crashed nearly the end. Spybot asked me to restart my computer b/c it couldn't clean one thing. I do so and it ran another check when I turned it on and cleaned up everything it found again.
That's where my problem started. I suddenly get a error message saying: "Files required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows XP Professional SP2 CD now." I go "eh?" and cancel the message to see what happens.
I opened up taskmgr and I'm running way more processes than usual--it's like I'm running double of everything! Double iexplore; double all the processes for Comodo Firewall/Anti-virus and double various other processs.
Then I suddenly blue screen with this message: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL; I wish I wrote down more of it but basically I freaked because I haven't had a BSOD in about a year.
Okay, so I restarted and I get the same windows error message and all my processes are running double. I found my dad's windows SP2 cd which is the same kind I received with my laptop and I insert it. It says "wrong CD--insert your Windows Professional CD2 now." I don't have a CD like that, neither does my dad or my sister who has Windows Pro XP.
What's going on? How can I fix this? Did spybot get rid of a file I needed on accident?
