This computer seems to have a lot of infections going on (the most recent popup is the one in the subject), and I’ve run several virus scanning software. I’ve attached the logs that I could gather based on the “Logs to assist in cleaning malware” thread, but when I run aswMBR.exe, the program runs for a few minutes and then dies. I’ve attached a screenshot of that program’s error as well.

I’ve run through the steps you’ve outlined. Attached are the requested logs.
Oddly enough, now if I try to go to a folder, I get a popup message saying No Such Interface Supported (See attached). I can navigate to folders when going through a Open or Save dialog box, just not if I try to go to Computer, Libraries or any folder on the desktop.
That is a very faked message. The Title bar (Text) is off, and in a VB Design mode, the vbCritical (The X in the circle) and the text are on the same line.
I had not yet uninstalled the other antivirus software. Unfortunately, I can’t get to the Control Panel now because doing so will throw either the explorer.exe error message or the one attached followed by the explorer.exe message.
