Ran malware programs can't run anti-virus. [Closed]

So I'm having major problems with my computer. I think I have some kind of virus because none of the anti-virus scanners I have/had will run. I followed the pinned topic on what to do and I had some success but now I am stuck. Currently I have ran the Microsoft Malware remover, Super Anti-Spyware, and Vipre Rescue. They all found malware and said them removed it but I still can open any anti-virus programs or scanners. I have McAfee which won't open or uninstall at all. I had Spybot SD and that works but won't run the system scanner so I uninstalled it. I also have downloaded (several times with several different methods) MBAM but it won't run after it's download to my computer. The past few tries safe mode hasn't work either. I'm not sure what to do from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there, first thing to do is have a look see

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.
    frst.JPG
  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach both logs generated.

OK one folder did not want to go .. Time for a bigger hammer

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
NSIS_extraction.png
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
  • Notes:
    1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
    2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.

    3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


    Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

I had already downloaded and ran ComboFix a few days ago. Should I run it again? Would the log be ComboFix.txt?

I just can't get the <path> part to work. I have several McAfee folders and when I tried to plug the file location in most of them say Cannot find the file specified. The one I thought might be correct said Access denied.

Sorry been busy past few days. I'm not able to get that to run. Not many things I download will run but the computer is a lot fast. I think the way to go is manually uninstall through the cmd prompt but I need to figure out how.
