I'm very sorry, but your best option is to backup any important files and folders, format the harddrive and reinstall Windows. After running 5 or 6 different anti-virus/anti-malware programs and a registry cleaner, your lucky that this computer boots up.
You should not be getting reinfected on a regular basis.Usually I am able to get everything working again after getting a virus but this is something that I cannot get to work
Prevention
Clean Install Windows 7
Since this is no longer a malware issue, I think you should close your topic at the Malwarebytes' forum as well.

Generally speaking, I've been able to get rid of viruses with no problem. I haven't had any virus problems on this computer until this one that's disabled my Defender. In the past, on other computers, I've been able to get rid of viruses. That's basically what I meant. I contacted Malwarebytes about it first because I thought I could get help from them if it was still malware or a virus. But they were taking too long to get back to me, I know they're busy so I understand. It's just that I had to get this resolved as soon as possible.
So I have to format the harddrive? Or can I just reinstall windows?
Would a system restore back to before I got the virus work as a possible option?

If this was my computer, I would format and reinstall.Would a system restore back to before I got the virus work as a possible option?
If you want to try system restore, please backup your important files first.

One more thing, this may sound like a stupid question but I don't want to further damage anything. My computer is connected through an ethernet cable to a network of drives, 4 or 5 of them. Not quite sure exactly how many. On these drives are many files, created by others where I work, and some created by myself. So I guess my question is, If I was going to do a system restore, would that affect any of these other drives on the network? I wouldn't think it would but I just want to be careful. For extra precaution I can unplug the ethernet cable so I'm not connected to the network at all. Thank you for the help again.

Its a good idea to disconnect from the network. You should also advise the IT person at work that your computer was infected. Measures need to be taken to determine if other computers on the network have been infected as well.I wouldn't think it would but I just want to be careful. For extra precaution I can unplug the ethernet cable so I'm not connected to the network at all.
