I got a virus the other day which appeared in my processes as a.exe. I managed to get rid of it in safe mode, but now no antivirus works - AVG, HijackThis, UnhackMe, SDFix, Microsoft Malicious Softwear Removal Tool, Norton, Symantec and others all give the same message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file..." I tried to get scanned by Trend Micro Houscall online, but, after a few seconds, the window just shuts down. I cannot provide any log of anything, because I can't get a log of anything. Help.

HijackThis, UnhackMe, SDFix, Microsoft Malicious Softwear Removal Tool are NOT antivirus programs!

Do an online virus scan while in "safe mode with networking"
