Unknown Virus Removal?
I have a virus which is really bad that's screwing up my system.
Yes, I have an antivirus program which is trend micro.
This virus screwed it up badly, half of the console isnt working properly, web protection is switched off, and scan doesn't work.
I also have malwarebytes which is working, and can scan.
I doubt it is removing the things, I want it to.
Task manager is also disabled and this weird virus wouldn't let me in most of the antivirus main website(experiment).
The worse news is that I can't get into safe mode and it says something....
(LOADING SPTD.SYN
PLEASE PRESS ESC TO CANCEL)
After that, it restarts, if i press exc, it continues with the normal startup.
IT IS REALLY STARTING TO BUG ME.
TREND MICRO SCANNER,
MICROSOFT(S) SCANNER DOES NOT WORK.

I would try doing an online scan with Trend Micro Housecall and see if finds anything.
Don't be too quick to brush off Malwarebytes. It's an awesome application but might not remove your type of Virus.

Here is a list of online virus scans Safety.Live.com (That one is Microsoft's) Symantec.com Housecall.TrendMicro.com Comodo.com...Comodo.com offers free manual disinfection and a free security suite from the makers of Comodo Firewall Pro...besure to turn off onboard antivirus before starting online scanner

NICE LOL!
I would try this:
Put in a windows cd, start recovery mode, in the command console, copy the file SPTD.SYN from the cd to the location in the disk (so you delete the old sptd.syn)
Then restart the computer and get it to safe mode. If it works try using spybot search and destroy, much better. See if that works, if not....
Let me know how that goes, good luck
