hey,
i had the same problem!..had a virus that allowed me to surf the net but my antivirus(malwarebytes) wouldnt get updated..
solution: used another uninfected computer to download malwarebytes and updated that computer.
from that computer copied all files in the malwarebyes folder {usually in crogram files}
and also the files from the malwarebyes folder which u will find in
application data folder (hidden)..this where the updates go i guess.
and pasted them in the infected computer in their respective folders..
restarted in safemode and found the trojan.daonol trojan virus!!!
