Hey guys. I have an XP machine that has the XP Security 2011 rogue, and I am working in Safe Mode. My problem is that I cannot install MalwareBytes or any executable without the virus just opening up instead. Is there a way to run them through safe mode command prompt? Or if anybody has any ideas, your input is greatly appreciated.
We understand that you are having difficulty running certain programs. However, in order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a DDS log, and it is possible you may be able to do this by following these instructions:

Download/run Rkill:

Please download Rkill from one of the following links and save to your Desktop:

One, Two or Three

  • Double click on Rkill.
  • A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.
  • Please leave Rkill on the Desktop until otherwise advised.


Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.

Next, please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your DDS log. If you are unable to create and post a log, then your only option may be to reformat your computer and reinstall the operating system.
