I've got an asus laptop that seems to have picked up a nasty virus, my Kaspersky failed and told my my license file was invalid, and would no longer scan or protect anything. tried to replace it with other AV but all AV sites are blocked. I used the f9 recovery of os to factory settings and now I can visit AV sites and download AV software but none of it will successfully install(bitdefender, and Avira so far)and the trend micro trial that was on here told me my license file was invalid, since it was an unactivated trial that is awfully weird.
SuperAntiSpyware will install and run but finds nothing. Would it be a safer bet to format C: first from a livecd and then reinstall? I'm worried that the hidden asus partition may be infected too since it seems I haven't gotten rid of it. Or is there anything else I can do, if I can get clean of this I'll switch to deepfreeze I think since this blew right through kaspersky.
