MABM won't run even when re-named, HijackThis won't install

[Tifa]

My computer's been infected with Antivirus Pro. I'm not a tech expert but usually I'm computer literate enough to read guides, but this time it seems that it won't work without actually asking for help. I've read many guides and I found Malwarebytes through one. Installed it. Nothing happening after that when I try to open it. Says it's no longer in that location. Renaming the file as I read in one place didn't work either. When I download HijackThis, and try to install it, once the download completes and I click run it just disappears. The only thing that's helped even slightly is that I installed a program called rkill and it seems to have subdued the nasty popups long enough to try to get things done. IE won't work as a browser, I get that I need to upgrade my Antivirus Pro ect ect. My saving grace is that I had AOhell still installed on this computer and an account and it seems that the browser is so unused that the malware decided not to even bother with AOL, so it still works so I'm able to type here.

Does anyone have any ideas? worst comes to worst I'm going to back up my most important files, and create a recovery disc, but I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
