Malwarebytes and Chameleon don't work - failed to start the scan

[AnaB]

Hi!

I've been suffering with some malware that opens ads on the web browser (ad block is not working anymore) and don't let me download some softwares, like antivirus, including Malwarebytes, and my windows Firewall is constantly deactivating. I had to download Malwarebytes from other computer and copy here, but it didn't open. So I tried to use the Chameleon, but this is what happens:

Hello and

 

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version. 
 

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
  
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Hello, thank you for the help!
I did it, but my FRST is in portuguese, the language set up is automatic, I guess (???). I couldn't change it, so if you have any doubts with translation please let me know. 

The files are attached.

Addition.txt

FRST.txt

 Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
 

 This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine. 
 Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable. 

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!
 

• Right-click on  icon and select  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

fixlist.txt

[AnaB]

Ok, here is the file.

Fixlog.txt

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Okay, let's make one more check:

 

 Scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Please re-run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool to give me a fresh look at your system.

• Right-click on  icon and select  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Make sure that Addition.txt option is checked.
  
  
• Press Scan button and wait.
• The tool will produce two logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.

Please attach report into your next reply.
