antivirus pro 2009

Hello,
I seem to have a malware calling itself Antivirus Pro 2009 that is wreaking havoc on my lap top.

I am unable to open SpyBot S&D, I asume this malware is to blame.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to deal with this nasty pice of software.

Hello,

Can you produce a HJT log as shown in the topic here: "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)
If so, please copy paste the HJT log into a new topic.

Let us know how it goes.

I have tried to download HJT on my infected laptop and it will not download. I used a different machine and downloaded HJT onto a disk and tried to open and install it on my infected laptop. The installer opens and asks for the path I would like to install it to and that is all. It goes no further. HJT shows up as a new program but will not run. It seems like I cannot run anything that is .exe

I'm sorry for the delay Silvio, your post got overlooked.
