I was actually trying to install drivers when i noticed it, because it said i had to restart, and it was trying to stop those 2 programs.

Right now im in safe mode and running 2 virus scans. 1 with MBAM, and one with eset nod32

What os did you install? Was is xp sp1? If so, updating it to sp3 is a race against the clock to see if you can do it before it gets infected by worms.

There's a program called Dr. Web CureIt! which is designed to run in safe mode (which many won't do), among other things. They have a free version available, which I use to lock down my system and enable my big guns (Kaspersky) to do their thing.

If your web access isn't allowing you to search (some viruses block AV related sites), a direct download link for the free version is here:
