Hi there,
Welcome to GeeksToGo. My name is RatHat, and I will help you get through the process of cleaning the malware from your computer.
OK firstly, I need you to print out each post I make so that you can refer to it while we fix your computer. This is because there will be times when you are unable to be online to read my instructions, and I will want you to do everything very carefully. I also need you to follow my instructions in the order that they are given. If however, you cannot carry out one of them, please continue on with the next and let me know what you were unsuccessful with. Please ensure you turn off word wrap in Notepad. To do this, open Notepad, choose Format, then Un-check Word Wrap. (Word Wrap makes reading your log difficult).
Next, I would like to make sure that you can view hidden files and folders;

I have downloaded the programs on my labtop put it on a hardrive and put it into my desktop, but it still will not load in safe mode or normal mode.
Also I don't think I can update any of the virus files because the virus stopped any of my virus programs from updating. My AVG can no longer update even though the internet is on.

Lets see if you can run MBAM without updating the Virus Definitions. Let me know how it goes, and post me the log if it runs successfully.
