Instructions for removal of Antivirus Live not working - Help!!!!!

Hi,

I was fortunate enough to contract the wonderful "Antiviris Live". I followed all of the instructions here at Bleeping Computer to remove this, but after running rkill and installing MalwareBytes I am unable to get MalwareBytes to open and do a scan. Any help with this would be most appreciated. This "Antivirus Live" is one nasty son-of -a gun! Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Edit: Running rkill never does get Antivirus Live to stop. I've run it at least 50 times or more.
Edit: One more thing. When following the instructions and going to the Internet Explorer Tools>Internet Options>Connections>Lan Settings and unchecking the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" I never have the ability to "Apply" the new setting. The "Apply" option is greyed out.

To all,

I tried booting into Safe Mode on a chance which was sucessful. I then was able to open Malwarebytes and run a Full Scan. The scan found 5 infections which I removed. Booted back into Windows and the nasty Antivirus Live was removed. I just wanted to let you all know that in case you're having trouble like I did to reboot into Safe Mode and try the fix from there. Hope this helps!
