I've waited 30 mins and the thing is still unusable & won't fully boot, so again I'm starting in safe mode, running Mbytes & doing everything else on my phone or by tablet.
Mbytes isn't finding anything, Zone alarm isn't finding anything & I'm not sure what to do now.
I specialise in removing these and how it is done is more or less voodoo but as a quick start what I do is boot into safe mode (hit bash F8 when PC is starting) and then download and install Avira free version.
It is the bees knees in detecting malware. Run that and them PM me the report.

Still trying. Every time I try to run the downloaded for I get the message:
Installation of Microsoft runtime redist kit failed - please check to see if Windows update is running in parallel
Nothing is running in the background, I'm even offline when trying to install Avira.

Took about 8 hours to reinstall but fortunately I didn't lose anything.
It was a ZeroAccess rootkit, or something like that.

Would resetting to an earlier time actually help, or is my pc knackered regardless, if infected?

Why Avira ? because it has brilliant detection even if it is a cantankerous German package.
