Antivirus 360 somehow found its way onto my computer (which is a Dell with XP). I tried running the Malwarebytes program, and the window (the one with the option of performing a quick or full scan) pops up, and then 2 seconds later, it closes by itself.

Theres two things I would do at this point.

1. Reboot the machine and tap F8 at startup to go into SAFE MODE and attempt a scan.

2. Pull the Hard drive and SLAVE it in another machine and run a scan if that is possible...

After either one of these, I would then Boot back into the original drive in NORMAL mode, and attempt a FULL scan after that.

Lemme know if that helped!

To get rid of antivirus 360 you should be able to boot into windows normally, go into the task manager and end the process tree of Antivirus 360. You can then run a scan with Malwarebytes. Sometimes Antivirus 360 comes along with TDSS but if you are able to download programs from websites you probably don't have the TDSS bug as well.

That seems to have dome the trick. It's been 2 minutes and already it's found 12 infections. I'll let everyone know if it was ultimately successful. Thanks.
