  • Sounds like you may have a virus that watches what you type into browser and stops you from looking for anti-virus solutions. But this isn't really programming related so I'll nudge it over to superuser.

You have a virus on your computer that would rather not be uninstalled. If it senses you doing something that could harm it, it will prevent you from doing so.

Restart your computer and when its booting up keep pressing F8 and when you get to boot menu, choose boot in safe mode with networking.

From there you can open your browser and install an antivirus, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, as it is free, lightweight on resources, and is thorough.

Well, you probably have a virus on the system in question. I think your best course of action is:
1. to install another OS on the system and try running a full scan on all drives. you should avoid opening any of the drives before the scan. also you should format the drive you are going to install your windows in.
2. if you don't need to keep the current OS, just format the drive and install a fresh OS on that drive, then again try running a full scan on all drives.
