I think I may be in a world of trouble now:

There are some things my laptops refuse to do, and that is either run or install malwarebytes, GMER, or spybot. (among a couple of others) Whereas only recently i could get them to run by changing their names.

The ones that were already installed no longer work and if I try to re-run them from my download folder, it says it can't because the files already exist.

If I try to download them again says C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Gmer will run, but again on start up it says 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process'.

I have tried TDSSKiller and It said 0 threats found, but so did these too: sonova, aswmbr, F-secure online scanner, Emsisoft, MBRL scan etc

So it seem as though it lets me run software that knows won't find it, or am I being paranoid? :mad:

But my main problem now is trying to get the good stuff running. I'm in a mad loop because I can't delete the disabled software and i can't re-run or download them.

I have tried changing security permission to allow me to change files, so I could delete the old ones before reinstalling but it changes back, or tells me I don't have access or permission.

I have tried Rkill first and then malwarebytes, GMER & spybot.... ....but no luck

I have tried the run command but it says it can't find it and when i browse to it, it says it still can't find it.

I have tried task manager and asking it for a new task ... this one almost gets me there .... but then fails.

what else did I try? Oh yeah....: I tried to Use Malwarebytes Chameleon ... no luck
Also Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from Safe Mode with Networking ... no luck

I have already changed the folder settings to Show Hidden Files and Folders.

So, what the hell do I do now?:eek::oops:
