Virus on meh computer?

Question

All right guys:
I've trusted everyone here at YA to get my questions answered. Now I've got a problem, and I hope someone here know whats goin on.

I think my computer has a virus, or something malicious. It's been acting up lately, so I'll post my symptoms below. If anyone can pinpoint whats wrong, I will shower you with praise.

*Redirected Google searches
*Inability to access McAfee's download server
*Random computer reloads and reboots (Usually when I run a program. No specific program, but a program.)
*Inability to run Disk cleanup, Error checker in drive toold, or defragmenter.
*Small decrease in computer speed (not significant)

I don't know if this is the result on a single virus, or multiple, but if there's any connections, can anyone tell me what I have, or whats wrong?

Conficker C disables Windows programs. Relating to the symptoms your provided in 2, 3 and 4. The worm is said to have started it's attacks today on April Fools. Conficker also blocks sites relating to antivirus. It possibly took on the same effect for your Google searches. All viruses and worms affect speed. Windows offers various removal tools such as BitDefender and Enigma Software. Law Enforcements and network operators struggle to rid this worm due to it's complex use of malware techniques. Your best luck would be to turn to your local computer technicians.

You got infected with a trojan etc etc or some very bad worms. I recommend booting up your anti-virus before windows boot up and do a system scan. This might be pretty hard for you so message me at yahoo messenger if you really need help @ aikions
