Cryptor description
Win32/Cryptor is a typical trojan downloader. It infects computers automatically when malicious websites are visited. It is also distributed via spam emails. It may spread via peer-to-peer programs as well.
Cryptor is dangerous because of its ability to download and install malware secretly. It may also interrupt normal use of the infected PC by terminating certain system processes.

If by “this program” you mean the removal tool, then the malware is blocking it. Boot your PC in a safe mode and you should be able to use the anti-spyware.

I found this virus on my computer and was not able to run any programs. I was able to run malwarebytes however by renaming it as “winlogon.exe” then right click, run as, and unchecking “protect my computer…” after running malwarebytes, i was able to run otherp programs including the removal tool. hope this helps
