I installed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and although it installed fine, it would not open for the life of it. Basically i'm guessing the malware prevented it from opening because it kept showing erros like mbam.exe can't open, in addition to the frequent wuauclt.exe can't open (which i'm not really sure what that is). I finally read something here that suggested renaming mbam as iexplore.exe (ingenious)-- it worked!! i.e., an hour later it FINALLY starting running..
I did a full scan and it found 12 threats... I think it said some things couldnt be removed? but it said I had to reboot the system after... which I did.
While the scan above was running, I also read something about running process explorer which i also installed and ran after renaming it iexplore.exe and I killed the process that I think referred to Antivir Solutions Pro... it wasn't labeled that but whatever the mumbo-jumbo was written as a file name, there was the 3 colored boxes icon(orange, blue, green) in front of it so I assumed it was Antivir remembering what I had read on a forum and killed it... hopefully it was right. The number of warnings decreased substantially so I think that malware may really have been killed but the antimalware doctor is still popping up; I can't find the shield icon under processexplorer to kill it--- any other ways it's referred to??
Antimalware doctor is STILL there... i had all these warning messages pop up from that (ridiculous amounts of pop up regarding threats though after reading on this forum, I took it off startup via msconfig and since then a sign that says "cannot make a visible windows modal" pops up and occasionally a balloon off the task bar that says "antimalware doc is turned off"--- but it's still there of course!). Soooo I ran ANOTHER scan after rebooting, and an hour and half later, it said that NO THREATS were found. I have logs of both scans if need be.
I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I ran Avira, an antivirus software recommended since McAfee wasn't opening at the time, and it found 5 threats/viruses which I quarantined and deleted. I'm still getting all the threats regarding antimalware doctor.. ie it not being activated, warnings of "threat modules" detected on my PC, etc
And now, finally, here is the Hijack Log below. I would really appreciate ANY HELP!!! I have literally been at my computer for over 5 hours now and am utterly exhausted and frustrated. Before I killed Antivir, NOTHING would open at all unless I renamed it. Now, I tried opening Skype for example (just randomly picked something on my desktop) and it opened but was preceded by warnings through Antimalware Doctor. Thank you in advance for your time and help
