You need to tell us more information. You say your Anti-Viruses will not open? Or did you mean that the scanner found a virus. If it did, then tell us all the location of the virus. (Virus Scanners often tell us the viruses location)

It should be something like C:/Windows/****/****/ etc....

Hey, not sure if you're still having the problem but if the antivirus is blocking most of your internet right click on the internet explorer icon and run it without add ons. (it should be the second choice down on xp).

You definitely don't need to ever spend 200-300 on professional help... not for computers anyway.

http://www.fixedlikemagic.com have a complete clean out service for $60.

You can probably remove this by yourself though. The reason malwarebytes didn't work is because PAV blocked it.. If you rename the file though to something else, then it should work. MalwareBytes should be able to remove PAV easily.
