I am having problems removing the Security Tool rogue from a pc running Windows XP. I have tried several fixes with no real results. When I boot into safe mode and try to remove the virus (random numbered file created by the rogue) from the starup menu I get a message that I don't have administrative rights to save changes. I've tried logging in using all the profiles including the Administrator option in safe mode.

I tried running program Rkill.com tool to shut down the malware in order to run a removal tool. I double click the program and the Dos prompt opens and runs. It disappears but I see no change to my desktop or in my ability to install software or scan.

Security Tool will not allow the installation of malwarebytes (or any other virus/malware program) or the update of spybot etc.. on my computer. I get to the choose language screen and the install wizard shuts down. I tried renaming the mbam file but did not change the extension. Should I change the file name and extension in safe mode, then reboot normally to scan?

Thank you in advance for any help. I know just enough about computers to be dangerous, so please use small words if you reply

I think I got it all. Let me know if you need any more information. There were 2 errors when running these apps. Most are shown in the log. Root repeal gave me an error warning "ERROR - Invalid PE image found". I ran it again and it seemed to run fine.

Now that you were successful in creating those logs you need to post them in our HJT forum There they will help you with the removal through some custom scripts and programs that we cannot run here in this forum

First, try to run a DDS / HJT log as outlined in our preparation guide:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic34773.html

If it won't run, don't worry, just give a brief description and tell them that these logs were all you could get to run successfully

Post them here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum22.html

The HJT team is extremely busy, so be patient and good luck
