I have been trying to kill the System Fix malware that's been installed on my computer, but two things are preventing me from following the steps you guys recommend.

#1: System Fix has rendered IE and Firefox useless; "IE cannot display this webpage" after every reboot. So even in safe mode I cannot download a fresh mbam or rkill to kill the malware.

#2: I ran my malwarebytes that is on my C:/ drive but it gives me an error when it wants to check for updates, so after a full scan it did not take care of system fix.

I am sending this from a mobile phone but I do have access to a friends computer if for some reason I need to use that to get me out of this situation! Any help would be so appreciated...
