Last night I started receiving alerts from Symantec about a file called "n" identified as Zeroaccess, services.exe (which I tried to clean but it said it didn't exist anymore), and a file called "80000000.@" identified as a Rootkit. At the same time, I received a supposed update from Adobe Acrobat which I allowed through my UAC because I'm used to it popping up.
I realized something was wrong when it didn't ask me to close Firefox (the updater always asks me to do that). I closed out the window, and didn't have any new anti-virus pop-ups the rest of the night. This morning, after waking up my computer (I don't normally use shutdown), I started getting anti-virus pop-ups again, all for "80000000.@" as well as having to close out the updater again. I checked in processes and found "FP_AC_CAB_INSTALLER.exe" running only when the updater popped up. I'm assuming that's the virus running as I was getting an access denied trying to kill the process.
I tried doing a system restore but all that got me was a blue screen upon restarting. Now it keeps happening when I boot into Windows. I did a search from my laptop and I saw some other people were having a similar problem here, but the threads said not to follow their directions so I decided to post a new thread myself hoping for help.
