Default Xp AntiVirus and internet blockers

The other night I accidentialy was hit with the XP Antivirus as well as some
form of software which turned off my firewall and is now blocking certian
websites on my IE explorer which is not allowings me to certian software
download sites like Mcfee, CA, MSN XP support, and most of the recomended
spyware and virus removal programs. I also notice when I do a serach in
explorere, the links are fake and they open another window.
At the same time my desktop changed to a Large Windows warning message
indicating Spyware detected on your computer. Warning
Win32/adware.Virtumonde and Win32/privacyremover.M64

I also have lost the ability of screen saver and changing my desktop
picture. This Windows warning message on my desktop wont go away. I've run
some online antivirus including the Microsoft and it found virus but didnt
clean them Help!!!!

I'm so sorry that you haven't recovered from your accident, Chris.
Apparently the horror of going off a cliff has caused you to think you are
an MS-MVP when you aren't. Nor should anyone download files from a website
which hosts pr0n.

Right!

It will block legitimate anti malware sites just like the malware he is trying to remove !
