I had some spyware a month ago and thought I took care of it.
Ive been attacked by the MS AntiSpyware 2009 sadly.
Mbam failed to load.

Hi.

Download ComboFix from one of the locations below, and save it to your Desktop.
[indent] Link 1
Link 2 [/indent]Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts. Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HijackThis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick Combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

[rhemphil]

I've tried to run combofix but i double click and nothing happens.
I also tried running combofix in safe mode with the same lack of results.

I notice the malware has disabled avg's access to the update server as well
as block malwarebytes.org. It sends me to another page. I'm doing all of this
posting from my laptop.

[rhemphil]

Should I consider this a lost cause and go for a format?

[Tigger93]

No, this is fixable.

Download OTScanIt2.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named OTScanIt2 on your desktop.

Note: You must be logged on to the system with an account that has Administrator privileges to run this program.

• Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
  
• Open the OTScanIt2 folder and double-click on OTScanIt2.exe to start the program (if you are running on Vista then right-click the program and choose Run as Administrator).
  
• Click the Scan All Users checkbox on the toolbar.
  
• Do not change any other settings.
  
• Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
  
• Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
  
• When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  
• Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
  
• Close Notepad (saving the change if necessary).

Use the Add Reply button and Attach the scan back here (do not copy/paste it as it will be too big to fit into the post). It will be located in the OTScanIt2 folder and named OTScanIt.txt.

I will review it when it comes in.
