Results from my attempts

Ok, so I downloaded Malwarebytes and HijackThis on another computer and with a thumb drive transferred it to the infected computer. I then tried to install them by double-clicking on them both. Nothing happens, at all. (And this is in safe mode). So I read to try changing the name and then double-clicking. It worked on Malwarebytes but not on HijackThis, it still did nothing when I double-clicked. Malwarebytes installed, but when I tried to start it, nothing happens. At all. Any suggestions?

Be careful using USB drive as there are Malware that attacks them on purpose and infects systems that use it.

Best to burn a CD if you can.

Please try this in Normal, then in Safe if it won't run int normal mode.

Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading ComboFix to your
DESKTOP

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

NOTE!!:

You must save and run
ComboFix.exe
on your DESKTOP and not from any other folder.

Also,
DO NOT
click the mouse or launch any other applications while this is running or it may stall the program

Note:

The
Windows Recovery Console
will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:
  • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • Click
    Yes
    to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

  • When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

  • Please post the
    C:\ComboFix.txt

    new HijackThis log
