Combofix is telling me that it wont run with AVG installed.

That's correct. Please download MicroSoft Security Essentials from the link below. Make sure that you install the 64 bit one. Once it's installed, remove AVG with the AVG tool remover below. Now try to run ComboFix.

What can i do to make it work?

Why do you want to run CommandPrompt? I specifically asked you not to run anything other than the scans I requested. Please run ComboFix and post the log.

combofix runs in the command prompt. Then it stops working. The command prompt has a blue background though. Then it makes it so i cant get on the internet. Dude I know its crazy, but if you could, i would totally let you come into my computer and do this remotely. Im such a noob. and im freaking out. 

I keep trying combofix, but its not working.

[SuperDave]

Please try this:

Delete your copy of ComboFix; download a fresh copy, except before you download it, rename it to blackpudding.bat

Navigate to Start --> Run, and enter the following command exactly as shown:

"%userprofile%\desktop\blackpudding.bat" /killall

See if ComboFix will run now

How do i rename it before i download it? Im using firefox.

[SuperDave]

If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:

* Tools->Options->Main tab
* Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".

When the Save file box opens up you can change the name down at the bottom of the box.

Actually, no i cant. Whats up with that?

[SuperDave]

Please download it with Internet Explorer.

A software keylogger would probably record keystrokes from an O/S soft keyboard like Microsoft, depending on where exactly it hooks into the operating system.
