try this...http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

its free!! if it won't let you run or install it do a system restore to a date before it started and then download malwarebytes.

If it doesn't let you download Malwarebytes (as stated in the text) PM me your email address and I'll email it to you (the basic program is just under 5Mb) but then I suppose any of the other anti-spyware programs (like Spybot S&D) will find it to if you've got them installed.

Malware bytes. If it won't run, change the exe name and it will then.
