programs closes mbam.exe mid scan

[mastaof420]

My buddy dropped his laptop off to me to fix this crazy virus. The computer originally had windows police pro on it.

I was able to get rid of that, but I'm having the hardest time ever to get mbam to run. The computer is still infected with pchealth

and a few others. I renamed the mbam installer to installer.com then i got it to run and open. I click quick scan it starts to scan it gets like 10 files into the scan

then it closes the scanner out. When i try to click on it again it says access denied. But it only does that to the one mbam.com file. I tried it a few times to see if it was the virus blocking me from using it....and it is I read that it will change the malwarebytes folder to read only so that you can't rename the files. So i changed the settings so that it wasn't read only, and it still blocks me from using mbam.com............please help. I can't get the computer to recognize my mp3 player flashdrive anymore, so i can't transfer over any other scan tools. I've been going through the registry trying to manually remove this with no luck. But i was able to fix my .exe extension reroute. The virus made it so that any .exe file automatically opened pchealth
