Virus blocked the well knows antivrus renames the antivirus names

This is just a hunch, but I know some viruses/trojans can block known programs from running. Maybe Safe Mode went around this?

Try renaming those programs in Normal Mode and then run it. For example, rename Ad-aware.exe to something like Ad-aware1.exe and run it. If that works, then there's definitely something working behind the scenes.

If you have a fast internet connection (broadband), run an online virus scan at TrendMicro http://uk.trendmicro-europe.com/enterprise...call_launch.php. Just follow the instructions on the site to run the online scan. If any viruses/trojans are detected, try to delete or clean them in that site. You may use Panda ActiveScan also at http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan. Otherwise, make sure your antivirus program has the latest definitions and run a full system scan

Remove Virus

Remove using boot CD from Kaspersky Rescue Disk - Load Kaspersky AntiVirus 2009 Using DOS
http://www.techmixer.com/kaspersky-rescue-disk-load-kaspersky-antivirus-2009-using-dos/
The most effected way to scan virus using standalone boot load from CD without Windows, I fixed the system this way when MBR master boot record is effected by virus. You must have a CD-W or DVD-W drive to make a standalone CD/DVD by burning ISO record/image. ISO (Short for International Organization for Standardization) image is a term commonly associated with CD and DVD burning. An ISO image (or .ISO file) is a computer file that is an exact copy of an existing file system. An ISO can contain the entire contents of a CD-ROM disc or CD medium. ISO files are typically created through a software application that will open, create, edit, and extract CD or DVD image files, then convert the extracted image to an ISO file, easily allowing users to burn an exact copy of the original onto CD or DVD.
