Sorry if this has already been covered, but here goes.
I know that I have been infected with several Trojans and malware, Vundo and Spywareguard2008 being at least two of them.
As of discovering these issues, I can no longer run spybot (I also upgraded to the latest version and in stalled ok)
or malwarebytes, or any other spyware removal tool . They install but noe of them open.
Also my windows update has been disabled and I cannot re-enable as that choice has been hidden or removed.
I also cannot run windows malicious software tool as my internet connection is blocked form accessing any site that dewals with malware removal (I'm on a different computer now)
Spybot won't run in safe mode either.
The only one that will run is HJT and it shows several dll's which I keep removing.
Any ideas?
I am about ready to wipe my HDD and start over.
