The last time I had something like this a few weeks ago it was like described here. It just kept self replicating. Did you try combofix? That is what fixed it for me.

Also, if anyone has problems getting Malwarebytes to download and run, there's a relatively new tool called "Randmbam" which randomly renames the file during download, so the chances of getting it to run increase ten-fold. It's right here, if you want to try it out.

RANDMBAM.

As for Combofix (CF), it may or may not totally remove the infection. When CF produces a log post-run, a lot of times there's additional rogue DLL, DAT, EXE, etc. files to remove, in addition to rogue drivers/services, which may have been missed on the first run.

The only way to get rid of those is to write a custom script in Notepad and then drag the Notepad file into the CF icon on your desktop, so CF can proceed with the custom fix.

I ran MRT and AVG at the same time and AVG removed my trojan/peraonal antivirus virus fist because it ran faster. It came up on mrt but mrt could not remove it because I had already removed it with AVG.
