Like Derek said, I had this problem on a friend's computer (never gotten a virus myself, ever, personally -- and I've never used any virus scanners, just clean the registry often) and I simply renamed whatever the .exe name is for malwarebytes -- what is it, mbwa or something? That worked for me. There's all sorts of free scanners, for example super anti spyware, which will do the same thing, and most companies build not only installs, but separate .exe's to open that can't be blocked by any known trojans. It wasn't enough to save my friend's computer, though I blocked the virus for long enough to be able to burn all the important files on his comp and then reinstall XP. It still took a good 13 hours to save it. What a fun night, eye roll and all that.
