My son had the same problem and I couldn't install or get to anything to remove it. Finally found this solution...<br/><br/>1. Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, click on show hidden devices under view<br/>2. Scroll down to non plug and play drivers, then disable 'tdssserv.sys' <br/><br/>You can then install and run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and you should be able to clean it up.

If it is bad enough to where nothing will run as far as scanners, remove the drive and scan from another PC . Perferably one that can scan for rootkits like avast. Scan the windows folder. Once avast removes the rootkit, you should be able to use whatever tools you would use to clean infections. This is a nasty little bugger so take caution. If you dont know what you are doing. Back up your data and nuke the system. Hello, I own a computer repair shop in PA and I just removed this infection.

People have said to rename your Antivirus executables and you should be ok. In my case, I took out my HDD, scanned it as an external drive using a backup HDD, then reinstalled the OS. It worked and my data was kept. David, sorry I didn’t read this sooner, but you more than likely have the TDSS Rootkit on your machine.

I downloaded and ran AVG8, and also ran the latest Kaspersky Rescur CD. Both found trojans and “fixed” them, but this thing will not go away.

Current symptoms:

Keeps adding Browser Helper Objects, blocks SPybot and Malware Bytes, prohibits me from editing registry. It was shutting off Windows Automatic updates, but that seems to have subsided after the AVG scan.

Run MSCONFIG, go to Startup, and uncheck Av360. If you do not already have it installed, install Spybot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html), let it do a full scan, it will remove Av360 stuff. Finally, when all is done, reinstall your Antivirus as AV360 most likely has shut it down and made changes to it. I was able to clean a system by doing all of this.<br/><br/>By the way, the "blue screen" you see is fake, hit Alt+Tab and you can get away from it.
