Malware that can't be removed

I have some kind of adware malware that can't be removed. I was able to delete most of it with revo unistaller. But now there is some that is hiding in processes and appdata and I think the registry. It blocks comodo,comboxfix,hijackthis,processhacker from running.Also hijacks my google search to bing.Any attempt at removing the files or stopping the processes int safe mode or normal mode I get "access is denied". I tried to manually delete from live cd and my dual boot win8.1 but it comes right back. It also runs in clean boot and safe mode, so I can't do anything there. Roguekiller log attached.

Hi xsilicon9,
You are infected by the SmartService rootkit.
Please follow the instruction in

and attach MBAR log with your next reply.

Hi xsilicon9,
Please download
Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (x64)
and save it to your Desktop.
Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click
Yes
to disclaimer.
Press
Scan
button.
It will produce a log called
FRST.txt
in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please attach log back here.
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (
Addition.txt
- also located in the same directory as FRST.exe). Please also attach that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
Regards.

Hi xsilicon9,
You are using cracked software, they are the entrypoint of many infections. I strongly advise you to get rid of them and not to download such stuff in the futur.
Please also only keep one malware resident and uninstall the others.
Download attached
fixlist.txt
file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE.
It's important that both files,
FRST
and
fixlist.txt
are in the same location or the fix will not work.
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system !
Run
FRST
and press the
Fix
button just once and wait.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
A folder named
FRST
should have been created at the root of your system drive (C:\
FRST
). Could you please zip it and attach it as well ?
Please also run a new scan with RogueKiller and attach the JSON report as well.
Regards.

I had to run the fixlist in safe mode because the malware kept blocking me from downloading or copying the fixlist. The malware looks to still be running.I had just eset as my primary internet security but the malware blocked it and it won't run. Attached are the files.

Hi xsilicon9,
Yes, FRST was not able to remove the rootkit.
Could you please generate a fresh FRST report and attach it with your next reply ?

Hi xsilicon9,
We need to use Windows Recovery Environment to get rid it of it
On a clean machine, please download
Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
and save it to a flash drive. Do the same with the attached fixlist.txt file.
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to the operating system
Note
: You need to download the version compatible with your machine i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit.
Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.
Enter
System Recovery Environment Command Prompt
:
Instructions for Windows 10
Instructions for Windows 8
Instructions for Windows 7
Once in the Command Prompt:
Run
FRST/FRST64
located on your flashdrive and press the
Fix
button just once and wait.
The tool will generate a log on the flashdrive (
Fixlog.txt
) please post it with your reply.
Regards.

Hi xsilicon9,
I'm not sure the driver has been deleted.
Could you please generate a fresh FRST log once again and attach it with your next reply ?

Hi xsilicon9,
We are going somewhere.
Please use this new fixlist.txt in Windows Recovery Environment, post the fixlog.txt and a fresh FRST report with your next reply.
