How to remove the Windows Security Center malware/virus?! I've tried Malwarebytes's Anti Malware but...?

Question

I can't run *any* downloaded programs, no .exe files at all. I have no clue what to do- someone please, please tell me how to remove it! And I have the AVG ani-virus and stuff so apparently that's not working. Help?

Download malwarebytes and superantispyware then run scans with both in safe mode by tapping F8 on startup and selecting safe mode. Run a scan with all both programs and your problem should be fixed.

“Can’t install or run Malwarebytes?”

-Try renaming the mbam-setup.exe if installation fails.
-Try renaming the mbam.exe if the program installs, but doesn’t run.
-Try starting in Safe-mode with Networking if program fails to install, run, or update. (Hit F8 key repeatedly when computer is starting after a reboot.)

After it is fixed get rid of avg and use avast or avira instead.

Try downloading Malwarebytes anti-malware again. Use internet explorer. When the download prompt comes up do two things. Download to your desktop. Rename Malwarebytes anti-malware to explorer.exe  The reason for this is Malware will usually let explorer run so it can get to the internet.
