OK, so MalwareBytes detected this virus (or whatever it is) and claimed to remove it. A week later (after a rebooting), MalwareBytes detected it again!  This sh!t won't go away, like it's Herpes or something!
Certainly there must be a security ninja here that knows how to dispense with this once and for all!

1. Format C:
2. Re-install from image backup - you do have an image backup don't you? If not, get those O/S disks out!

Yup. But make sure to boot from a Live Linux CD/DVD (not a writable flash drive) with the infected disk disconnected until you're booted to do the reformat the infection away step. That should protect you from anything except a Bios/Uefi rootkit; but if the NSA/KGB have decided to PWN you they wouldn't be using an off the shelf scamware to do it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Here are two options adwcleaner from bleeping computer & TDSSKiller from Kaspersky to make certain it's not a rootkit.
If it's windows 7 or earlier also run Combofix from bleeping computer.

I'd run TDSSKiller, JRT and AdwCleaner in that order, all found on Bleeping Computer.

OK, I've got an update. Reviewing the history of the MalwareBytes scans, it seems that there was an initial detection of the MalwareProtectionLive program from a temporary directory, followed by repeated detections of the singular Registry listing. When I examined the Registry (i.e., by running regedit), I noticed that the listing was still there, even though MalwareBytes claimed to remove it, and when I attempted to remove it, it gave back an error message that the deletion could not be done.  I then ran regedit from the Windows Power Shell run as Administator and was able to delete the listing!  A subsequent run of MalwareBytes FINALLY showed this infection to finally be gone!

it's been raining for weeks in north-east Canada (Ontario and Québec) !
Lot of flooding around Montréal and the Gatineau area, and I've heard around the Don river area in Toronto.
I'd rather be phishing!

Are you on the east coast? It rained like the dickens in NJ.

Yup. Mrs. actually went to Hoboken, Friday afternoon.
Not via path . . .

Pfffft, Welsh are nice people and rain is just natures way of cleaning up our shistuff. It's not unusual.
Anyway, don't be a sissy, it's only water.
OTOH should it rain so hard you see whales then come on back, for that some slightly different advice (It is unusual - even the Welsh are scared of it.)
Sin tack
the any key okay

Can FxCop do them all?

You may want to look into SonarLint and Resharper. Style checking is now part of VStudio.

Depends on the scenario.
For generic .net the best paid solution is Resharper by JetBrains.
Then there are specific targeted solutions depending on the platform you are developing for.
fxCop, StyleCop and CAT.net are the free Microsoft solutions albeit a bit out of date.

Cute. There appear to be several blacklisted filenames. 
[edit]
One of the other ironies of pylint is that when you disable a warning, you then get an "informational" warning that you've disabled warnings.
So, you have to first disable that one (I0011):
#pylint: disable=I0011, C0102, C0103, C0111, W0702, line-too-long
As I just wrote in another post, software should not be designed or written by programmers.
