http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - download this and install.

If this is the virus. It will try to block it running this program. To bypass the virus blocker. Find the file that will execute the malware bytes program e.g.
\Program Files\Mal\mbam.exe rename the mbam.exe to tram.exe . Double click on the renamed file. This will launch the program, update, scan and get rid of your virus.

If that doesn't do it. These are manual instructions.
http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-antivirus-live.html - read instructions.

Good luck. Got a version of this last month and it was pain to get rid of.

If you get rid of it. Get Kasperesky anti-virus and install that too.

Download those two files up there

restart your computer, but boot in safe mode and proceed to remove.

Idiot's (me) process.
Go to your kid's or wife's or friend's PC and download:

http://www.superantispyware.com/?tag=GOOGLE-SUPERANTISPYWARE

Burn it onto a disc.
Go to your computer, start it in regular mode.
Load the disc.
The virus will likely say the download failed.
Shut down.
Restart, keep hitting the F8 key until a screen comes up...one option will be "start in safe mode", select this one.
Go to programs, find the Super Spy program (or whatever you choose to use).
Open the program and run it.
Might take 30-45 minutes.
Once done, shut down and restart as normal.

Malwarebytes may not get it completely. I suggest you download spybot as well as spyware blaster to fully protect your machine.

Run spybot and malwarebytes a few times in safe mode. Shut the machine down, restart in safe mode, and re run both scans at least twice. I had that virus a few days ago and it was a PITA to get rid of.

sounds like you got lucky. I had the same virus, but it kept me from being able to install any virus software. i finally was able to get something installed, but now the dang computer won't turn on. It was older though so maybe that played a part.

You probably had more than one infection or a combination of spy/malware plus virus infection.

I computer got this same virus yesterday. It wont let me open any security programs or finish downloading malware anti-virus. I have NOD-32, ran a complete scan and it didn't find it. I had to click on it a few times to get open it. I don't have another computer to burn a program and not computer savy. Any help would be grateful.

I keep everything of mine on an external harddrive.. the second my computer goes south with a virus, I just reformat. it's less of a headache and only takes 45 minutes or so.

i leave all the drivers and what not on the external and it's good to go after an hour. runs faster, smoother.

reformat is where it's at!
