Agent 2.AESF AND Win32/Cryptor Viruses Removal HELP, PLEASE!?

I've just got my desktop back up and connected to the internet a couple of days ago. After being out of town the half 1 1/2 on a job in La. Now, it seems I've contract this virus/worm. That will not allow my to restore or launch pretty anything. Sooo, my question is there a way to backdoor the login password??? Where I can run an anti-virus program on the desktop.

The main window I keep gettin is 'Application cannot be executed. The file svchost.exe is infected.' Do you want to activate your anti-virus software.' Which is not my software, it's a third party's!

The links may help down the road. But, for now I can't get 'em installed in the 'safe mode'. Which I was finally able to access thru the network log in (F12 button). Anyhoo, once I gained access to the safe mode. I was able to run the McAkee Stinger1001688 and that worked to a degree. Now, I'm running the Stinger program again. Then I'll throw the Spybot and Ad-aware @ it. I know I can access these two programs in the 'safe mode', also.

The desktop has contracted the Agent2 & Cryptor viruses or the combo of the two. I try loadin the malware via the flash drive and it will NOT allow me to ever open the malware much less run it. I've been runnin AVG 8.5 anti-virus several times both in the normal mode and in safe mode and have had no success. Also, have try the restore disable than reinstain it and nothing has worked thus far. HELP!!! PLEASE!!! Thanks in advance, Don

Update:

Utilizing AVG 8.5 tells me of those two!

FINALLY, a program I can actually get to run SUPERantispyware! Every other program has gotten the dreaded unable to run .exe file message(window).

Update 2:

Still running the SUPERantispyware prog., up to 413 detected threats. One of which is Trojan.downloader-Gen and Trojan.Agent/Gen-fakeSpy(Board-1).

Think we may be finally main some progress here! THANKS!!!

Update 3:

YES! YES! YES!

The SuperAntispyware program worked GREAT! THANKS, Moo!!!

I've ran the SuperAntispyware program a second time just to make sure and this time it showed nothing! After havin shown like 530 detected threats. There's nothing now and I'm able to open whatever program I want w/ no more issues. Thanks again, Moo!!!

    I try loadin the malware via the flash drive - take it you mean malwarebytes, free AVG has no rootkit protection, a rootkit could be your problem or you may have a trojan like Trojan.TDss (this can stop malwarebytes running) or malware (this can stop malwarebytes running).

    How do you know you have Agent 2.AESF AND Win32/Cryptor Viruses ? which programs state this ?

    McAfee Avert stinger - did you run this with system restore (you should of done)

    Programs to try:

    AVG Anti-Rootkit Free 1.1.0.42

    http://www.brothersoft.com/avg-anti-rootkit-free-d...

    (If using Vista turn off UAC first)

    Free Superantispyware:

    Free online scan (finds malware but does not remove):
