no I have not tried safe mode yet because I figured it wouldn't let me in anyways because this virus is a tough one it seems to not let me run spybot at all and it doesn't let me install certain applications such as bit defender or Sophos etc etc. I will look into BartPE right now though. The virus which I think to be the virus is located in windows\system32 folder (mdelk.exe) and yes I get the following message"cannot delete mdelk:cannot read from the source file or disk" so it doesn't actually say file is in use...

So again I appreciate your efforts. I'll try to boot in safe mode and see if that helps any...
