Hi, I became infected with this recently. I have browsed some of the threads here and was able to download Hijack this. I tried to download Malwarebytes and rename it however this virus will stop it from running every time. I also tried to run it in safe mode with no luck. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Also, I noticed that some people were advised to click an update button when installing Malwarebytes and then click finish. I did not see this anywhere during the installation process.

what do I do when I cannot run malwarebytes or combofix?! The virus will not allow me to run either, even when I've named them as something else.
