anti-malware software disappearing

I have a Windows 7 professional Dell. It suddenly started to malfunction eg programs would shut down unexpectedly and everything was slow. I suspected malware or a virus.

On my first attempt to scan the system, Malwarebytes would not install at all. Nor would Spybot S&D. Finally, I rolled back the system and managed to install RKill and Malwarebytes in safe mode. I scanned the system and found a few nasties - but only 5. I then installed Spybot and that worked too.

I rebooted but neither piece of software will open in "full" Windows mode. There is no activity at all.

I can't work this out :(

note added:

I have rebooted into safe mode again and Malwarebytes etc. exist again. Not sure what to do next.
