I just got some program called Antivirus...It will not let me open .exe files. I restarted in safe mode, ran malwarebytes, and then a-squared...i deleted the antivirus file that was associated with the virus. restarted back to normal mode, and it came back.

I went into the registry and deleted the file that a-squared said it already deleted. I don't know where else the file might be that keeps allowing it to redownload itself. i've had a similar problem before a while ago but not the kind that doens't allow you to open programs..i pretty much just kept running programs to remove viruses until it finally disappeared. i dont know how it happened...

There is a security issue with some versions of Adobe Acrobat. That may have been the method of entry.
