Fix "windows cannot access the specified device path or file" error?

You have a VIRUS! To combat this threat, please follow the following instructions: Turn the computer on, and boot into safe mode. This is usually performed by depressing the F8 key during the boot-up process. This is not a mandatory operation, but does provide extra protection while proceeding. At the logon screen, logon to the computer. Once you are at the desktop, go to the control panel. Create a new user account with administrator privileges. Download, install, update and run Anti-virus software and Anti-malware scanner, if available. *** See links below for trial and free software to help combat this threat *** After threat(s) are discovered, remove with pertinent software(s). Utilize Windows Explorer or My Computer to access personal folder(s) & file(s). Move these folder(s) & file(s) to a safe location. Example(s)… Memory stick, external storage device. *** Warning, this procedure will remove ALL files for that user. *** Once this procedure is completed, delete the old user account in control panel. Re-boot the computer. Logon to the computer using the new user account again. Re-create the old user account, if desired. FINISHED! Congratulations, you have just combated a viral threat and won!

Its basically blocking access to things (this happened to me once) lol the virus is doing this so you don't access any anti-viruses or the internet which btw I would d/c your computer from the internet to keep it from key logging or something.... But anyways if you restart your computer and see the "HP" or DELL" etc... (with custom built computers it will show the motherboard brand) but if you push F8 on the startup you will have the option to go to 3 different safe modes, Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt and Safe Mode with Networking, just push enter on the "Safe Mode" first one, from there (I'm assuming your running Windows XP) log into your account (The virus can't effect you in safe mode) and run a complete virus scan, I would recommend Malwarebytes, its really good and 100% free... which btw if you don't have an anti-virus and need one than I guess you can select "Safe Mode with Networking" that way you can download something... anyways hope this information helps and you get rid of this nasty problem! TIP: Before downloading an Anti-virus do some research to make sure its safe! my sister had the same problem with this ant-virus and so did a lot of other people I know... I think I even did along time ago...
