Can anyone recommend any pre start up system virus checker? I've got lots of crazy stuff going on and it seems that if a virus can get past your anti-virus while its running, you should be able to find it before windows boots. I've run all those other programs like tdsskiller, malwarebytes, adaware, etc and it seems like all its doing is making worse. Thanks in advance for any help and recommendations.

I have had good luck with avast (free) boot to safe mode run from there. Try your programs in safe mode.

the only way i can think of running a virus scanner before booting windows is through MS dos.Don't even know how to get to MS dos on my computer.Most programs can run a scan at windows start up but i havnt heard of any that will run 1 before.
