Application cannot be executed

[TomBi]

Two of my computers seem to be infected with something please help!

I am getting the notices saying that a file is infected do you wish to run your antivirus. I click no or X out of it. When I try to open my browser it takes me to an antivirus website. When I try to run my antivirus "AVG" or MBAM it gives the message "Application cannot be executed. The file mbam.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?"

I have run both AVG and MBAM in safe mode. AVG found nothing and MBAM found 1 key logger but it has not fixed my current problem. I cannot update in safe with networking or normal mode.

I read somewhere about changing the file extension to .scr to allow me to run MBAM which I did and it lets me run it but I still cannot update it.

Please help let me know if you need anymore info from me. I am at work and trying to get this taken care of between the other things I am working on.

Thank you

Tom

Sorry my question was is there a way to download a patch rather than updating MBAM? Or is there another way to handle this? I cannot access the internet from either infected computer.
