It sounds as though you may have one of the variants sarah mentioned. When I find some time, I need to see if I can do further research and find a way to remove these variants that Malwarebytes fails to handle.

Can anyone help please. it seems antivirus2009 has infected my desktop. i have run some scanners including malwarebytesAM but it hasnt removed everything and now comes up clean. i downloaded and ran 'spyhunter' which found 5 'virtumonde' infections. i still get the antivirus2009 google tip on the google page and also regularly get blocked unneccessarilly. what can i do next or is it too complicated for someone as rubbish at computers as me??

There is a certain flavor of antivirus2009 that mbam will not detect.

That's quite a dilemma. Perhaps there is some other malware is preventing the scanners from being able to properly disinfect the system.

Yes, my pc has the antivirus 2009 spyware and it appears Malwarebytes is not detecting anything malicious. I've also run Smitfraudfix, Combofix, Ad-Aware all to no avail.

You should not have any problems with malware or rogueware infections. Did
you have problems to begin with?

After performing scan with malwarebytes, it did not detect any malicious files. What now?

Excellent, I'm glad to hear renaming the executable did the trick and allowed you to install Malwarebytes. I may have to write up a quick blog post about that, but I'm glad the info is at least captured here in the comments.

1. with Superantispyware.com free download. Download on another uninfected computer. copy Superspyware install (.exe) file to infected computer and change the name of the install file (something.exe). Run this new file and change the name of the install location to
C:programfileSupertemp | Once this installation is complete, browse to that folder. I changed the name of the Superantispyware.exe file to Supertemp.exe (May not be necessary). There should also be a file in this folder named:bootsafe.exe! Run this application to restart your
computer in Safe Mode - Directory Services Repair. Once the computer restarts in this mode then browse back to the Supertemp folder and run the Supertemp.exe. It should now work and start scanning. Mine detected about 88 infections but you will specifically see the 7 or so files of spyware guard 2008. Reboot when the scan is done and you should be good to go!
I did not do definition updates during this! I did not want to access the internet during this process!
Note: The file name changes are required because the spyware guard 2009 won’t let them install/run. This is for spyware guard 2009 even though it detects 2008 and 2008/B.
