I have a virus I can't get rid of?
I have this virus called "Open Cloud Security" and I've tried every program I know of to get rid of it. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to destroy this pesky virus? Please help. I've tried using programs, and I've even tried to delete the files myself. Nothing works, please help.

The bleeping computer guide isn't working. At least not for the opencloud av that I have. In fact whenever I start running any sort of scanner to stop the virus the scanner will suddenly shut down mid scan and I can't open it again. This includes HiJackThis, malwarebytes, and avast. Spyware Doctor won't even let me do a scan. Rkill says it can't install properly several times and does perform a scan, but the only process it has ever terminated was internet explorer. It doesn't seem to be able to find the virus.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I've tried everything out there too. Nothing seems to help.

The only tool you need is Malwarebytes Anti Malware.
P.S. Andrey's solution links to rogueware (GridinSoft Trojan Killer) just like Open Cloud Security. Don't download the software linked there. I did not report the solution, as it's possible he was just promoting it in ignorance rather than malice.
