HELP! Alpha Antivirus infection, no programs will run except for browsers

I can download programs, but when i double click to install, I get the pop-up "Application cannot be executed. The file XXX is infected." Thus, I cannot open any programs, except for browsers. I've tried download mbam.exe, but it won't install. It won't let me open task manager either.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please visit this webpage for a tutorial on downloading and running ComboFix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

See the area: Using ComboFix, and when done, post the log back here.

For some reason, I'm unable to access that site. Can you provide another site to download the link?

Not possible.

Please reboot to Safe Mode with Networking (tap the F8 key just before Windows starts to load and select the Safe Mode with Networking option from the menu).

Then, please try again.

I was able to get a ComboFix log once I removed the LAN proxy from IE. Here is the log...
