I have now tried to load malwarebytes from a flash drive and the new starin of this virus actually learns as you go through the steps and once it determines where your headed it blocks all access.
Most of yesterday afternoon I was trying everything the Malwarebytes site recommended....they had several alternates on how to trick the virus...none worked.

Tomorrow I will be working with one of their techs on a chat connection to see what we do next.

This episode has given me comfort for the time I have spent over the years always backing up to a portable hard drive as well as my laptop.
If you are not backed up you better do it.

I am also going to purchase Malwarebytes pro version for my laptop...I do not want to take a chance getting my laptop infected.

I will post what I learn as I go. Thanx for all the suggestions and support.
