So I just got in a computer with an infection courtesy of Internet Security 2012, which as many of you know comes bundled with a lovely little rootkit. After following the guide here:

I still was getting google redirects, and was unable to run programs like tdsskiller and aswMBR. Thanks to throwing a billion (Avira, MBAM, Super Anti Spyware, spybot STOPzilla) anti-virus and anti-rootkit (Sophos in particular) programs at the problem the Google redirects have gone away, but I still can't run tdssKiller without renaming it, and nothing will get aswMBR to run. When tdssKiller runs it comes up with nothing as well. I'm totally at a loss as to what to do, especially since I'm so close to be done with this thing forever. I know whatever is on here is still present in some form, and I'd rather it not have a chance at making life hell again. Thanks in advance for any help!
