Question Virus blocking all reset tools

[Ziteck11]

Somehow my computer seems to have gotten a powerful virus and I have tried every damn thing I can to reset the computer and reinstall windows and just have a fresh wipe. Nothing has worked it keeps getting blocked saying can’t run this program or it will just kill the process. Any ideas on how to fix?

What version of windows? Are you able to use the media creation tool to create a bootable USB to reinstall Windows?

Edit: or do you have a different PC you could run the media creation tool on?

Also, if you have Windows 10, you can try this.

It should basically intercept the computer at boot up, and try to scan before it fully loads. That said, if you can create a Windows 10 USB, to reinstall is probably the best way to clear things.
