So i recently released from prison after a 4 year stint, not bragging, not proud, been a d2jsp member forever, but needless to say, my girl gave me her old laptop, been out of the mix for so long, that these virus's are out smarting me, i have no access to any traditional methods, like a reformat as i have no disc to load from, and i cant remember how to just install from like a piratebay site or whatever, but anyone know what i should do? Malwarebytes hasnt worked, neither has hijack this, downloading avast now, see if that works...I dont mind reformatting if anyone knows the steps to download a decent copy of windows until i can get an official copy...So uhmmm ya....help me out please

Download and run this from a disc or usb if you wnat to disinfect it.

Once thats done you'll want to run eset online scanner and malware bytes from safe mode.

You can download windows 10 iso from microsoft free and run it without a license with limitations.
If you want to activate it just get an OEM key off ebay for 5$.

much appreciated, the rootkits on this thing are impressive, they use up all the ram and my proccesses are running consistently at 100% im in safemode with networking currently, so doing better, but i have like 25 svchosts, all rootkits in system32 that malwarebytes did not recognize...Its strange, microsoft security essentials, a known malware, and malwarebytes didnt find it...I will work with what you gave me, i live currently in seattle, so microsoft software is not hard to come by....just trying to make this thing useable before the nights end....may not happen

Norton Power Eraser is a decent tool for rootkits, as well.
