The computer got infected with a virus, and it's a strange one, this is what happens:

I can't launch avast at all (I'm guessing) it's work of the virus, every time I click avast it says there is an error and it won't let me run it.

I can't access any of my 2 drives (whether C or D) I get a virus message and no access at all.

Does anyone know how can I get rid of him, without the help of avast, since it has been knocked out?

The preferred answer on this board would be "post a log in the hjt forum". If you feel like taking a chance and doing it yourself, I would first run combofix, then after I would run mbam. With those two tools, you have abourt a 90% success rate of getting it removed.

According to the author of combofix, about 1% of computers that run it may be rendered unbootable. While very effective, this tool can cause problems. Use it at your own risk.
