I've gotten a rogue antivirus application on my computer. At first I tried running my Norton Antivirus to get rid of it, and then after that didnt work i went online to see if there was any way of getting rid of it. I tried downloading malwarebytes but for some reason i could not. I dowloaded it off a friend computer and then transferred it over onto my computer. Yet still i am not able to run the application. I've read other posts to see if there is a general way to get rid of this malware, but i am not sure if all the advice given will apply correctly with my problem. I posted earlier hoping to get help, but now my computer is slowing down, i'm finding random files and folders that i've never seen before everywhere. All i can do now is stop the pop-ups by ending the process av.exe *32. I have Trend Micro's HiJackThis, I have OTL also. Those seem to be used to find information on the virus. I just tried to system restore my computer just now, and still there are complications where it will not let me. Please, can anyone help me?

Hello, I've recently been infected with Vista Antivirus Pro 2010, and I've also gone through many steps read on this website and others but to no conclusions. First, I tried to download MalwareBytes. I got the file mbam-setup.exe, but when I tried to download it, nothing would happen. I then went on to my friend's computer and downloaded the application successfully and transferred it over via external hard drive. Unfortunately, it still does not run. Now I have downloaded HiJackThis I've gotten my log.
