Please download my Anti-Malware Toolkit and get the package that matches your Operating System. Then follow the directions in the PC Cleanup guide. After that, please post a HijackThis log.

Win32 is the "aka" of a 32 Bit Windows Operating system. Might just be corrupt or a form of virus that IS attacking win32 itself. But win32 is not a virus lol.

Surely you have a thumb drive or home network where you can transfer files.

There are several variants of Win32 that will not let you use Internet Explorer. Other browsers work though. Hope it isn't a severe one, that corrupts windows system files as well as system restore archives... You can get rid of it even if it is, but the procedure is a bit more complicated.

I don't know about you guys but If i had a serious virus i'd just backup + wipe + reinstall.

I had one of these the other day. My virus protections couldn't find it, so I just restored my Windows partition to a few days ago, and that worked fine.
