System Fix Virus not found by Malwarebytes!

[niftydude]

I received the dreaded System Fix virus today and have spent hours trying to move it. Eventually found a great guide to get rid of it, but still can't! I downloaded and ran RKill which stopped the virus, made it dormant. I tried the TDSSKiller which found no problems. I then ran Malwarebytes twice, using a full system scan and it found plenty of viruses but not the System Fix one! I actually located the main System Fix virus files in Windows Explorer and scanned them with both Malwarebytes and Trend Micro anti-virus, neither recognized these files as a problem. Running Malwarebytes for a third time now, doing a full system check and it seems to have found one virus but I don't know what it is yet... but I'm not optimistic. Would running malwarebytes in safemode solve my problem? Why isn't this program identifying this virus as a problem, even when scanning the actual virus file? I have spent all day on this, tried everything but safe mode and still haven't found a solution! Help!

Install AVAST then update it, then run RKILL then after RKILL kills everything open up avast and run a full scan. Generally speaking you need a antivirus program to remove virus's although malwarebytes remove SOME virus's it is not a antivirus program.

EDIT:: I believe I gave you my personal advise before realizing this is posted in the wrong forum, please excuse me for not paying attention, hopefully your post will be moved to the correct forum to discuss YOUR problem.
