I cannot add an admin account or become an admin account because of this.I have tried to follow guides online and even gone through the forums but every time I try to change anything I get a pop up telling me that I need to log in with an administration account. I tried to add an administration account but it didn't let me, showing me the same popup. I tried to add a non administration account and it didn't let me. I have tried everything and not

    Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

    Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

    The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

    I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

    Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

    What are your ideas?
