    have you tried running yr av in safe mode

    have a look at link below


    MS Removal Tool is a computer infection from the same family as System Tool. This infection is also categorized as a rogue anti-spyware program as it pretends to be an anti-virus program, but is actually a program that displays fake security alerts and scan results in order to make you think your computer is infected. MS Removal Tool is installed through the use of malware that will install the program onto your computer without your knowledge or permission. When installed, the infection files will be created in a random named folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in XP, or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in Windows Vista and Windows 7. It will then be configured to start automatically when you login to your computer.

      download malware bytes and reboot in safe mode with networking and run malware bytes should remove it no problem hope this helps
      I saw a billboard on the way to work this morning that read "Future Events."

      Well, that's a sign of things to come.

        Another vote for malwarebyte run in same mode. However you may find spyware has done damage to PC like screwing up the browser, file associations, windows updates and other stuff.
