a good virus leaves no signatures, they run in the background of system executables such as SVCHOST.exe

Observe your processes, if svchost.exe(its normal to have like 5 of these running at once btw), or system.exe is using alot of cpu %

I had a virus that prevented me from opening any anit-virus, or spyware programs, and locked my temporary file space.

The only way you can remove this, in my opinion(the easiest way) is to reformat....make a back up of anything that isnt system files(pictures, music and what not)

If you have a name brand pc such as Dell or HP, it should either have a backup drive, or a windows repair disc that came with it.

if you dont have one, you can request one from the company you bought the computer from

sounds like you have the confictor virus, what it does is blocks your antivirus as well as keeps you from visiting an antivirus website. confictor turns your computer into a bot that distributes and spreads the virus to other computers creating a botnet. try going to any antivirus wesite and i bet it wont let you.
