Files are missing from my documents, i tried sticking in a usb card, but apparanantly it was instantly corrupted, so no dice adding anymore anti viruses.

keeps trying to get me to "defrag" using "Good Memory", whatever the hell that is... looks like a fake defrag/antivirus program.

Any ideas? i can't get into safe mode either... says windows vista, and i have XP

Can you post a HiJackThis file?

Yeah, the Safe Mode issue is strange... you might check out the 2nd to last section in the OP about the BSoD when going into Safe Mode. It does seem like something else is going on, but you might try restoring those registry keys and trying again.

What do you mean by it won't let you download it? Are you being redirected when you click the link in the OP, you can't connect to the internet, you can download it but can't install it... ?

You might need to find a recordable CD or DVD... you could download and burn them from another computer, and try installing them that way.
