I was just checking this out but I found that most links claiming to have a cure are actually owned by the inventors of this program.
Get people sick, then cure them!
I hate this method but I see an evil genius at work here.
Anyways, I found the guide to get rid of the predecessor. I think they might be a better bet than the rest of the links.

According to the guide, you should have a printer and download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Hope this helps and good luck.

malwarebytes and hijack this all the way!
It won't let me run malwarebytes, this shit is dirty!
Is there any way through command prompt that I can run malwarebytes since it wont let me open it via its shortcut?

Trust me when I tell you this, ignore most everything said here and follow this step by step http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/8693...s-live-and-other-roguefake-antivirus-malware/
Everything on there is free and it will absolutely remove the virus, but trust me when I tell you it will take hours, if not damn near a whole day. I've had to do it on two separate laptops so I know what I'm talking about.

Read the guide I found for you perhaps?
It will instruct you on how to deal with this amongst other things.
For instance on how you may have been infected in the first place and special instructions on how to deal with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware like not rebooting even though the program wants you to. It also deals with your download problem.
Edit: A clickable link is in the post below this one.

its weird i had this exact virus the other day.
It tells you you got infections and stops you from doing almost anything, so bloody annoying. I used that guide above. RKILL kills security shield processes malware bytes helps remove it and you also need to download a new hosts file. Its all explained in the link.

Yeah I scanned through it but I can barely even open the page because this damn virus won't even let flash plugins run. It wont let me do ctrl+alt+delete. It won't even let me open notepad. WHO WOULD CREATE SOMETHING THIS MALICIOUS??? I'm going to go nuts... it won't stop popping up fake virus notifications!!! :chicken_w
How much is it gonna cost me to have best buy get this damn thing removed?
I'm gonna try running malewarebytes in safe mode to see if it will let me run it but if that doesnt work... i dont know what i'm gonna do. This is going to drive me insane.
This bloody thing won't even let me install RKILL. I am so outraged!

I usually make a mini xp boot disc and boot to the dvd drive. Then I just run all of my virus scanning programs in mini xp.

If you have access to another computer you could try and download an Ubuntu live CD? This will not install anything but will boot your computer.
From there you could access the guide, download your programs to an USB flash drive and kill this thing.
You could do the same thing (downloading guide and proggies) on another computer as well but a live CD would give you access to your own computer while doing it.
Rereading your post: Don't click the virus popup messages away. Leave them while you continue the install.

safe mode with networking then try install rkill. Or install it on another computer and transfer it across.

Boot into "Safe Mode with Networking" the 2nd item on the menu you will see come up if you keep hitting F8 while booting up.
In that mode you should be able to use Malwarebytes or another program and then run it. Plus also gives internet access if you needed an update.
Hope that helps out, but those things suck!... they hijack your whole system, task manager and internet.

My sister had it the other day on her laptop. Boot into Safe mode with networking then follow instructions on bleepingcomputer. I also followed this video which was really helpful and it took around two hours
