Infected XP can't open SDFix Spybot Combofix Firefox etc

Asked by veedar in Anti-Virus, Windows XP Operating System, Desktop Anti-Virus

So I'm working to clean up a heavily infected XP Pro box. Tried many things and have cleaned up a lot but still something is preventing me from opening anti-spyware tools like SDFix Spybot and Combofix and even Firefox installer I can't open. Other apps notepad etc. will open fine.

Now if I rename the app it will open. So I suspect something is watching for the launch of certain applications by name and then blocking them.
