Ok so a month or so ago I got a virus but with some help form people here I got ride of it.Now however I am having some problems.

WSAS Strartup Error
both 32-bit version of Firefox and IE don't work only the 64 bit of IE does.
Cannot get acces to iTunes
Vidoes don't work and it tells me to download the new adobe flashplayer but when I attempt to nothing happens.

Even the smallest help would be nice I am not expecting much.

You can try a repair install of Windows.

Remember: just because you remove a virus doesn't fix any damage it may have done to system files.

I'm of the opinion once infected, I'd never trust that install again. (Thankfully I have yet to get anything in 7+ years. And I don't even run real time protection.)

I would start from scratch personally. Delete the current system partition, then recreate it and install fresh. But that's me.

I would too, but then again, I also have an image of my Windows install that is fairly up-to-date and has most of my software already installed, so going from a fresh install doesn't take long for me.

Backup & Restore images are a great feature of W7, I have one to. I had to use it recently due to a failed OCing attempt. 10 minutes and I was back in Windows.
