Cannot remove AntiVirus Pro 2009 Rogue virus...?

Alright guys/gals, I've seen a lot of questions along this nature. It really is a major problem with me. I have cured numerous computers before with a rogue virus/spyware and had Smitfraudfix clean the computer out of all problems. This one is a lot different. A lot of answers have been "use malwarebytes and/or SuperAntiSpyware to clean the malware out," or "go to www.bleepingcomputer.com, malwareremoval.com, or malwarebytes.org/forum for help." The thing about that is the virus/malware seems to block you from going to these sites, as well as blocking us from using those two programs. When you click on the shortcut, or from the programs bar, you will get an hour glass for a few seconds, and it will disappear, as if it forgot to load the program. You will get a "Page Load Error, Failed to Connect" screen like you are disconnected or something. You cannot use AVG, simply because you will get the fake "blue screen of death" screen and your computer will restart. Also, going into safe mode does not help you either. The same things happen whether you are in safe mode or in normal mode.

The best answers NEED to be from someone that knows what he is doing, and not someone using google to find the answer with no experience with this virus, unless you are going to copy/paste the solution as your answer from one of those sites.

Now, is there please someone, like a good contributor from this site that is experienced and knows what he is doing that can not only help me, but help a lot of other inexperienced individuals fix this problem? I have been brainstorming and coming up with wrong ideas for about 18 consecutive hours now. I am willing to manually try to remove the virus, but I am not THAT experienced for an expert to just tell me what to do. I will need a great walk through so I don't delete wrong .dll files, or essential information to keep my computer running well. Thanks again everybody, as I am one VERY frustrated individual.

The best answer will definately receive a 5 star thank you in the point system with a gracious comment if your information helps me remove this virus from my computer!

I got rid of it by going to START, ALL PROGRAMS, ANTI VIRUS 2009 and then uninstall. I also went into add and remove programs and deleted it from the program list.

AntivirusPro 2009 is the latest rogue-antispyware program that tries to trick users into buying full version of this malware. AntivirusPro 2009 promotes itself using special trojan horse that produces false Windows-like alert messages designed to prompt the user to download AntivirusPro 2009 parasite. After installing this malware will start to generate fake security warnings and pop-up's. AntivirusPro 2009 may block access to some web sites and may even prevent any attempts to connect to the Internet. This is a very high risk threat and should be removed immediately as to prevent harm to your computer or your privacy. We recomend to remove AntivirusPro 2009 using special removal tool (free scan). ----------- use manual removal guide

Since you are having so much difficulty in the removal of the malware, you can try downloading MBAM (MalwareBytes) to a floppy or CD from an uninfected computer, then installing it that way and run a full system scan.

However, the problems as described may involve more than just Antivirus 2009. I think your best course of action is to join a tech group that specializes in providing manual instructions on malware eradication.

You should be able to access one of the sites above and join. If you can't access one site, then try one of the others I posted above or try to join using Safe Mode with Networking. It will allow limited net access. To get into Safe Mode, reboot and then either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up.
