Can't Run MBAM, none of the fixes work.

[Arianna]

It was suggested that I post this problem here. Maybe one of you can

help me.

I'm about to rip my hair out.

I got a pop up the other day saying something about how Windows

Security Alerts detected some virus. Like an idiot, I clicked "OK"

without thinking. Now, I have a constant pop-up from some supposed

security alert center asking me to buy it. UNlike other rogue

anti-spyware viruses I've had, though, this one won't let me do

ANYTHING.

I can't run Antivir, Spyware Doctor, MalwareBytes, or Advanced

Systemcare. It won't let me open anything .exe save for Internet

Explorer. I have tried running all of these in Safe Mode. This

doesn't

work either. I have surfed the web and found numerous supposed

"fixes," but once I download them, I can't use them as the error

message pops up once again telling me that it's not a valid Win32

application. I've tried system restore, and it tells me that system

restore was shut off by the administrator.

I tried the fixes mentioned above, and none of it works. Renaming the file does nothing. Is there a way around this?

Please someone help me. I don't want to have to completely reformat

EVERYTHING if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Arianna

Try this:

Download and run combofix (from your desktop)

when downloading the tool change its name to combo-fix.com

If that doesnt work reboot and rename it to iexplorer.exe
