AnitMalware Defender Virus

I have been infected with AntiMalware Defender probly from Microsoft update. I ran AVG no luck. I went in manually to remove it access denied. I tried AntiMalware bytes access denied. I tried renaming it in safemode still same results. Removed it completely and reinstalled and saved it under a different name still access denied. Ran combo fix and no luck still keeps reoccurring. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is one of those viruses that resets every time you reboot but not sure.
This virus has disable my audio mixer and a few other things. It also redirects me every three pages which is thourghly annoying. Originally I had to set my computer back to an operational time because it was crashing. Please, I am at my wits end.

Hi,

Please download RKill by Grinler

• Before we begin, you should disable your anti-malware softwares you have installed so they do not interfere RKill running as some anti-malware softwares detect RKill as malicious. Please refer to this page if you are not sure how.
  
• Download Link #1.
  
• Save it to your Desktop.
  
• Double click the RKill desktop icon.
  If you are using Vista please right click and run as Admin!
  
• A black screen will briefly flash indicating a successful run.
  
• If this does not occur please delete that application and download Link #2.
  
• Continue process until the tool runs.
  
• If the tool does not run from any of the links please let me know

Then please follow the instructions in this Removal Guide.

No problem. I'm glad you managed to get it sorted.

Just run a full scan with AVG to make sure no remnants are left. You might also want to try something like Kaspersky Online Scanner just to double check.
