My computer got infected with vista antivirus 2010 somehow. It changed the name of its process to AVE.exe. I tried closing this but it comes back automatically so I thought there must be another process to close. I accidentally closed the wrong one and my computer had to restart. Now I don't have access to any programs including my spyware terminator program and antiviruses. Now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I tried restarting a few times to see if it would fix itself with no luck. I cant even open any restore points. However on the plus side ave doesnt pop up any more. Do you have any advice for me this is a nightmare!
