The version I had of Total Security must have been an updated one, because it would not let me run Malwarebytes. I could download it, install it and even open the program, but it would not allow a scan to be run.
In fact it was programmed to block all such scans from any similar program. For a few of them it even blocked you from opening the exe file.
It even blocked me from using system restore. It nuked all my old restore points.
In the end I had to reformat, but I was long overdue for one anyway at the time so I didn't really mind that much.
The makers of this Total Security thing are obviously watching the techie forums, and whenever anyone posts a fix they simply adjust their program to compensate, so there are less and less ways to defeat it as time goes on.
Try everything you can, then if all else fails it's reformat time.
