SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION
Rogue AntiSpyware virus enters your PC without your consent or using some sort of social engineering trick. Fake scanner pages, malicious mail attachments or system vulnerabilities are often used.
Virus has a single goal: to gain money. Like other rogue anti-spyware applications, it will try to convince you that your system is infected with multiple parasites: trojans, adware, or other rogues. Typically, rogues do not provide enough detail about infections detected or show fake results. Rogue anti-spyware like XP Security 2012 will not clean any actual infections for free.
Most of the parasites of this type do not have parasite detection engine thus every warning they show is a random one. If you see persistent popups or alerts, you can safely discard them.
You should never pay for Rogue Anti-spyware application like XP Security 2012 as it funds development of other computer parasites.

Im no expert, but... Open your task manager and watch the processes.
Now open IE or Firefox and watch for a new process to show up when security center runs. That will be the file you search for and delete at the end of all this.
Once I was able to determine the process name, I simply killed the process, dumped the offending files into another folder, deleted them, and was able to run MalwareBytes afterward. It all seems to be working now... thanks!
Then I was able to run virus scan and registry repair tool. So far so good.
The so called virus in this case blocks all .exe files to be executed hence ;
first rename the setup file to .bat extension and then the setup will run so you can install it.
Once installed again the .exe file in C:/Program Files/.../Malwarebtes Antimalware.exe will not work so again rename that to .bat extension and then run the application.
This time it will work and then do the full scan and it will be cleaned.
