I was infected with the autoprotect 2009 malware program last month, and malwarebytes worked without a hitch. My wife downloads a lot of things, so we got infected again. this time however, i was unable to run spysweeper, malware, hijack this, or spyhunter. I unistalled MB, and then it wouldnt even let me run the install from safemode. My solution to this problem, though seemingly stupid, was to change the name of the setup program from mbam-setup.exe to 22mbam-setup.exe. This finally brought up the installer and installed the program. same deal again though with running the program... it still did nothing. I then went into the program files folder, and changed mbam.exe to xxxx.exe and the program opened and is now running. I think these viruses are now being coded to not to open the programs that kill them, but only by the name of the exe. try this out, I hope i can help a bit with my archaic solution.
