Need Help: Virus Attack, Power Surge, Blue Screen and More (In That Order)?

I would describe my luck as ungodly bad.

I started out getting the antivir solution pro virus on my system.

For hours i ran malwarebytes, antivirus pro, and avast security scans on my entire system. (Full Scans Mind You).

I restarted my computer, once, and when i restarted went from a driver screen to a black screen.

I figured out how to get my system to safe mode, i pressed f8 during the driver screen then selected one of two options i had for running the system. Ive never had to do that before, in fact i didnt even know that the option existed. I restarted the system and selected the second option. My system made it to the xp loading screen then . . . black screen. I went back through the whole process, pressed f8, then selected run the system in normal mode. Alas, back to my error ridden screen.

I decided that i would download spy doctor, as one forum suggested, then put on a flash drive in order to install it on my other computer as it would not allow me to access the internet, let alone download anything (even at full signal strength). I got it on the flashdrive, rebooted my computer, WENT INTO SAFE MODE, began installing spy doctor then . . . power surge, thunderstorms outside. I restarted the computer, went back into safe mode, fully reinstalled spy doctor, which was wrongly convinced that it yet existed. I attempted without success to run spy doctor in safe mode, my safe mode wont allow scans or internet connection. I restarted the computer and went to normal mode, attempted to run spy doctor and dsicovered my arch-nemesis . . . THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! (nooooo). I was thoroughly demoralized until i restarted my computer and all was fine until i double clicked on the rapidly becoming malpractice ridden spy doctor and, well, blue screen (EGAD). I uninstalled spy doctor promptly. I read a forum post where a tech support - er, from the company that brought us death-spy-dotor suggested i download spy doctor 4, instead of 5 which i was, apparently, using. My computer will not allow me to excecute the .exe file necessary to run the SD4 setup, bastards. I did try the "run" too in the start menu, it didnt work.

I got the virus from pirate bay, without downloading anything, and i was on the main screen.

I have alot of experience with tackling viruses, this one baffles me.

These are the sights i have been to.

Update:

The intitial scans turned up Nothing.

Update 2:

I had visited more sights while trying to find a solution, the computer im using wont let me view them in history. Just guess at the google searchs, in my haste they were simple.

Update 3:

SpyDoctor 4 is working! (At the moment)

Update 4:

Ran SpyDoc, 22 threats detected total, costs money imnot willing to spend to remove. Malware & Anti Spyware came up blank again.

Update 5:

Virus is finally gone, woo hoo. And just to catch up, system restore just caused a blue screen, i restarted from last known working configs.

Update 6:

User rlkill, then updated malwarebytes an vuala.

Update 7:

And one more thing, one of my original problems, that my system requires me to hit f8 and select a driver to run the system with on boot up or it goes to a black screen, is still present.

    First, you are using the wrong scanner. Restart your computer in safe mode with networking. Once loaded, click start > run (Xp and Windows 7) (for Vista click start and type the following command in search) > type inetcpl.cpl > ok. In the internet properties window click on the advanced tab > Click on the button to "Restore advanced settings" > click also on the button to "Reset" internet explorer settings. This should reset your internet connection. Next, download, update and choose a full scan with Malwarebytes. When the scan is finished remove anything detected. Follow this with a scan with Superantispyware again removing anything found.

    I'll give you my background information on this specific rouge anti-virus:

    I had the Antispyware Soft variant of this one that you have now like about a few months back. From a last Yahoo Answers question I saw about this, I was pretty shocked. It seems to have evolved because I simply used Malwarebytes (twice and full scan) in Safe Mode. I even have the logs to prove it (message me if you want to see them^-^) :P
