K, I Hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE... I try to look at Task Manager but then after 2 Seconds from hitting Task Manager it closes on me!

How can I fix this problem?

Hmmm, that sounds exactly like what the Klez virus does to Norton Anti Virus

Can't say for sure, but it isn't a normal thing to be happening.

Did a Scan... AVG Found Nothing... Trend Micro free online scanner found WORM HYBRIS.B... Damn that SUX... Anyway what kinda Worm is this and how do I remove it?

[EDIT] OMGOSH It also Found TROJ GLITCH.Bl and BKDR SHIZNAT.A

AVG SUX (My Opinion)

Now that we know it's a security issue, I'm moving this over to the experts.

Were your AVG definitions up to date?

Just because it finds something that AVG doesn't find doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I don't think there is one anti virus program out there that catches everything. And you are dealing with a worm, and a trojan (or two) not a virus.
More your own fault than an anti virus apps.

In 23 years I've had ONE infection, and I got it from a CD I paid for. Knowing how to prevent infections will do you more good than any anti virus app.

Head on over to Symantecs site http://www.symantec.com and see if you can find a fix in their library.

What really sucks, is not having made any backups.

K I fixed the Problem... I just Have one question left...

For some odd reason I have 3 svchost.exe and each one of the svchost.exe file is a different size... Is that alright? and can I end the process?

If I remember correctly, more than one instance of svchost.exe is normal. Depends what you're running.

While the above is an OK site in a pinch, it's only capable of running a scan on your system, to possibly find if you're infected. Once done, and you close the website, you are no longer protected. That is where having a good full time antivirus software becomes necessary, with real time file protection, running 24/7 on your system.
