Thank you everyone.  Security essentials did manage to quarantine Rogue after considerable time.  Now my question is Avast did not detect this(Rogue).  It was running by itself for cosiderable time before I restored security essentials.  I lean toward Avast since it cleaned the major attack and essentials could not clean it (maybe I did not wait long enough?) On second thought the original attack toke over the whole PC so nothing but an on boot cleaner could isolate it.

Your honest opinion

Rogue location is in the jpg I posted earlier  C:\windows\instaler\...etc.  That was all the data I have.
Thanks again.  Runimg Avast and MBAM only.

Did MSES remove just the file or the whole folder ? 

If it did not remove the folder could you give me the full path so that I can use FRST to kill it
