So recently my computer(I'm using my friends) has been infected with something call security suite.
It says ALL of my file are corrupted and will not let me run anything except the security suite program itself.
I tried an anti-virus program at a recommendation from a friend and everything worked..
except for the small problem that I can't run the anti-virus program due to Security Suite saying the files are infected and refusing to let me run them.
I could really use some help... please?

I had this, and no program could get rid of it.

Worst case scenario... boot to safe mode, and follow these manual instructions (Its what I had to do).

No need for that, go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and get "Process Explorer" But, to run it after you've installed it, you're going to need to change it from a .exe file to a .bat file.
To do this, go to the folder where you put it and click Tools >> Folder Options >> View and in the "Advanced Settings" box, uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types" go back to the folder where it should now say 'procexp.exe' and change it to 'procexp.bat' you should be able to run it now, do so. Look for Security Suite (it should be near the bottom) right click on it and select "Kill Process Tree."

This should give you enough time to run a system restore. Then, I suggest reinstalling the Malware Bytes program and running it.

Call McAfee. They will help
I wouldn't trust McAfee to clean my shoes.
Malwarebytes and Avast's boot time scan have generally been the best combo for killing viruses for me. That is once you've got enough control to run programs, Firoth's idea sounds like a good way to do that.

Fucks sake. Try SuperANTIspyware free edition (just google it.)

Oh and don't use anything to do with McAfee it's absolute shite.

That's like saying shooting yourself in the stomach is better than in the head.

In my research the more you have to pay for computer protection the worse it is.

To the Googlemobile. I found this and it might help.

ISSUE: I'm getting a Runtime error 0 and 440 automation error.

SOLUTION: Please do the following to see if it fixes the error:

* Please copy and paste the following text in the Code box exactly as written into notepad (not wordpad or any other text editor):
Code:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\ssubtmr6.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\vbalsgrid6.ocx"
# Once you've done that click on File and select Save As...
# In the Save dialogue box click on the drop down menu next to Save as type and select All Files
# Name the file MBAM Fix.bat (the .bat extension is very important)
# Save the file to your desktop and double click it to run it on XP. For Vista please right click on it and choose Run As Admin
# Click OK to each of the 3 dialog boxes that should show a success message for each file registered
# If you get an error that REGSVR32 "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file", then ensure that the file REGSVR32.EXE exists in the %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32 folder. If it's not found there you can copy if from another Computer running the same operating system and service pack level.
If that doesn't fix it then please download and install the Microsoft Visual Basic Common Controls from here [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=25437D98-51D0-41C1-BB14-64662F5F62FE&displaylang=en] to see if it helps.

So? Did it work?
