This is a continuation from the following thread:
http://www.computer-juice.com/forums...76/index3.html

I am unable to post new logs because when I try to open SuperAntispyware or MalwareBytes or any other program to try to scan my computer the Windows Antivirus Pro blocks everything from being opened. I get a pop-up bubble out of my task tray that says:
"Running of application is impossible, file is infected, please activate your antivirus program."
I am unable to open add/remove programs, and I can't open System Restore. This pop-up comes up anytime I try to open any applications. Also, my virus scan has been disabled and it will not enable when I try to fix it.

I also tried to scan in safemode with no luck. The programs will not open.

Try the renamer download for Malwarbytes.

http://kixhelp.com/wr/files/mb/randmbam.exe

The randmbam.exe will try to create random names and shortcuts for Malwarebytes Anti Malware (MBAM) if you have it installed already.

Post the log it creates.

Unfortunately that will not open either. I tried saving it to my desktop, and then I tried it again by just running it. Both times I received the pop-up that said running of application is impossible.

Try this please.

Download ComboFix from one of the below links. You must rename it before saving it!

Important! You MUST save ComboFix to your desktop.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Rename ComboFix to Combo-Fix before saving it to the desktop.





Temporarily disable your antivirus and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

Double click on Combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.

Vista users Right-Click on Combo-Fix.exe and select Run as administrator (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)

Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

When the scan completes it will open a text window.

Post the contents of that log in your next reply.

Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

It is blocking me from opening that also. It seems like I am not able to open any applications.

It looks like PC Antispyware 2010 has also been installed since yesterday.

Be sure to rename this as stated in the instructions before trying to run it.

Download SREng and save it to your desktop.

* Extract it to Desktop

* Double click SREng.com to run it.
* Select System Repair from the left pane.
* Click on File Association
* Select all entries that has an Error below Status
* Then click Repair

* Refer to this image for an example:



* After repairing them, you may exit out SREng.

----------

Now try running Malwarebytes and/or ComboFix again.

Won't let me open that either.

I'm sorry I am giving you such a challenge.

Download the file UnHookExec.inf and save it to your desktop. http://www.filedropper.com/unhookexec

Go to the desktop and Right-click the UnHookExec.inf file and click Install. (This is a small file. It does not display any notice or boxes when you run it.)

Delete the UnHookExec.inf

Try the scanner again.
