I got turned onto Malwarebytes by our IT team at work. It works well.

If you upload malwarebytes or another product before you have an infection, you can run it in Safe mode ( I guess ) or normally after killing XXXXsysguard.exe, like I did with the thumbdrive. Otherwise, you're faced with downloading while "Antivirus Live" is still active.

The comments at How To Geek report variable success using Safe Mode to do this. I found these comments to be very helpful in making a judgement how to proceed. I couldn't even boot in Safe Mode using the F8 key, as recommended. I just got a blank black screen. So I tried the normal boot and kill procedure that I read of there, and this worked great for me.

I already had malwarebytes installed, but it couldn’t touch this new iteration. It blocked malwarebytes from working to isolate the virus.
