Hi JakeLille
 
My name is Aura and I'll be assisting you with your malware issue. Since we'll be working together, you can call me Aura or Yoan, which is my real name, it's up to you! Now that we've broke the ice, I'll just ask you a few things during the time we'll be working together to clean your system and get it back to an operational state.

• As you'll notice, the logs we are asking for here are quite lenghty, so it's normal for me to not reply exactly after you post them. This is because I need some time to analyse them and then act accordingly. However, I'll always reply within 24 hours, 48 hours at most if something unexpected happens;
• As long as I'm assisting you on BleepingComputer, in this thread, I'll ask you to not seek assistance anywhere else for any issue related to the system we are working on. If you have an issue, question, etc. about your computer, please ask it in this thread and I'll assist you;
• The same principle applies to any modifications you make to your system, I would like you to ask me before you do any manipulations that aren't in the instructions I posted. This is to ensure that we are operating in sync and I know exactly what's happening on your system;
• If you aren't sure about an instruction I'm giving you, ask me about it. This is to ensure that the clean-up process goes without any issue. I'll answer you and even give you more precise instructions/explanations if you need. There's no shame in asking questions here, better be safe than sorry!;
• If you don't reply to your thread within 3 days, I'll bump this thread to let you know that I'm waiting for you. If you don't reply after 5 days, it'll be closed. If you return after that period, you can send me a PM to get it unlocked and we'll continue where we left off;
• Since malware can work quickly, we want to get rid of them as fast as we can, before they make unknown changes to the system. This being said, I would appreciate if you could reply to this thread within 24 hours of me posting. This way, we'll have a good clean-up rhythm and the chances of complications will be reduced;
• I'm against any form of pirated, illegal and counterfeit software and material. So if you have any installed on your system, I'll ask you to uninstall them right now. You don't have to tell me if you indeed had some or not, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Plus, this would be against BleepingComputer's rules;
• In the end, you are the one asking for assistance here. So if you wish to go a different way during the clean-up, like format and reinstall Windows, you are free to do so. I would appreciate you to let me know about it first, and if you need, I can also assist you in the process;
• I would appreciate if you were to stay with me until the end, which means, until I declare your system clean. Just because your system isn't behaving weirdly anymore, or is running better than before, it doesn't mean that the infection is completely gone;
  This being said, I have a full time job so sometimes it'll take longer for me to reply to you. Don't worry, you'll be my first priority as soon as I get home and have time to look at your thread;

This being said, it's time to clean-up some malware, so let's get started, shall we?
 
Follow the instructions in the thread below. Make sure to download the MBAR linked in it. Let me know if you're not able to launch it and run a scan.

If you manage to run a scan, delete everything it finds, and then copy/paste the content of the "mbar-log-TODAY'S-DATE.txt" log that is located in the MBAR folder here after.

Thank you Yoan! I've looked at a forum post similar to those, though the version linked of the program was outdated and thus didn't run. This one seems to be working and I have started the scanning. The menu won't open, but I read this is normal and the scan is still active, I just wanted to clarify that. I will come back once the scan has finished.

[Can't Run ANY .exe File, Tried multiple solutions "The Requested resource is in use."]

To start it off, I love Malwarebytes and have been a free user for quite some time and recently have been thinking of upgrading for the benefit of real time protection, and this issue just furthers my want to do so.

I am an idiot, and I have downloaded a version of Ccleaner from a website that I should have not trusted and originally it came bundled with Adware and all that good stuff. I was able to uninstall the initial adware with Malwarebytes and all seemed fine until this morning. Overnight, something must have happened regarding this trojan because now any executable file does not seem to work, only displaying "File Location Here *next line* The requested resource is in use." and at first I thought there was an instance of this running, but checking task manager there were no processes running under that type of program. I did some research and apparently this is a known trojan/rootkit and I've downloaded rKill and tried running it, same error message even in damn safemode. I've downloaded Malwarebyte's adware removal program, and their rootkit removal program, unzipping it and attempting to run the exe even as an administrator. Did not work. In my task manager some of the processes seem fishy, and whenever I try to go to their file location it says Access Denied. I've never experience a virus like this before, or any large computer infection for that matter so this is all new territory for me and it's kind of frightening that all my documents could be lost. Anyone who has a solution and offers to help, I greatly appreciate it!
