Edit: oh god virut. good times. Have you tried using Avast to fix your virut problem?

First of all try running a Hijack This log and posting it here and somewhere else so we can get an idea of what is going on. If something looks damn suspicios such as HKLM\ redirect to\partyinmyasianpants.com then feel free to delete the file using the application.

Second of all, assuming you can't access Safe Mode, try renaming mbam.exe (Malwarebytes) to some other name such as fred.exe. It is probably vundo blocking Malwarebytes by name. And changing the name will slip past it's defenses.

If you could try running msconfig go to startup/startup services and find anything suspicious or out of place outside the normal name of services. If you need, use Google and disable the start-up of these services after a reboot. Then try running your anti-virus software again.

Third of all, try running other software such as Ad-Aware and less popular alternatives. Stay away from false-positive software. If these are blocked then try Step Four.

Four, try googling what viruses you're being hit with and manually delete them using regedit. Certain registry cleaners are unable to get these and therefore require manual deletion.

Fifth, during this time period I suggest you close system restore. If the viruses are serious enough, they could implant themselves in system restore in order to reinstall themselves at a later date. True story.
