this one's got me good...

[cameron_am]

I have one of the latest fake anti-virus programs, can't get rid of it

tried removing my drive , scanned it on another system, found 19 variants of av malware. deleted those, stuck the drive back in, same problem.

Mbam & hijackthis won't run, even if renamed

Have gone thru the thread on this forum and tried all the latest removal techniques

Process explorer will run if renamed to winlogon but shows no identifiable process to kill

Root Repeal has an error that says can't get access to the boot sector, changing the access level has no effect

Trying to reach the malwarebytes site gets me redirected to a fake page called www.2009-version.info/malwarebytes/index.php

anyone got anything left to try?

a new item has appeared in my start menu called Install Altiris Local Recovery - any ideas what that is?

Hi cameron_am and welcome to Malwarebytes.

See if this will run:

Download DDS by sUBs and save it to your Desktop.

Double-click on the DDS icon and let the scan run. When it has run two logs will be produced, please post please post the one that is not minimized.

Next, please visit this webpage for instructions for running ComboFix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

However, do not download it from the links on that page. Download it from here instead:

• When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
  
• Please post the log from C:\ComboFix.txt.
