b.exe Help

[JLyons10]

Hi, this is my first post here and from what I've seen you guys seem to be very helpful so hopefully someone might be able to give me some advice.
As a disclaimer, I will admit that I am not as computer literate as most of you.

I have looked up this problem and it seems to be pretty common...
-When I start my computer, I get the b.exe error
-Morpheus will not stop opening
-I keep getting a low disk space warning, even when I boot up in safe mode and I have plenty of space left

Here's the biggest problem, whenever I try to download an anit-virus program (mine went AWOL for some reason) I always get an error that some .exe file has an error on the Win32 application and it will never let me install.

I was just wondering if anyone might be able to help me before I go ahead and start from scratch.

Thanks a ton in advance.

It gave me the same error message that I get when trying to install any other program:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\YDWXIHWX\HiJackThis_v2[1].exe is not a valid Win32 Application"

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

Now see if you can run HJT.

Got the same error

Is it possible that I just caught it too late?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

It`s starting to look that way.

Try doing a system restore from safe mode and see if that helps any.

Just to update, I was able to download Avast...for some reason it actually let me install it...and it was able to delete the virus. Everything is fine now.

Thank you very much for all of your help, though!
