OK, I don't know if anyone is listening, but I followed the instructions for my issues, and no dice! I was able to download and run Spybot, and it found malware. Since removing it, I still am getting the same errors as before (even with Spybot but it still runs). I just can't get Malwarebytes to open at all. Help!!???

Thank you Mr. Forum Deity, I was able to install and run Avast and it did find Malware. I worked on my issue yesterday for hours before realizing that I had forgotten to check for and run automatic updates(the little planet icon is unrecognizable to me), and I'm embarrassed to say how many updates there were. I don't use this old Windows 2000 laptop, but my desktop is still hooked up to my cable internet service. We'll see if Malwarebytes works after Avast cleans up a bit. I do have the link you provided if not, thanks!

Hi, I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and this old laptop computer sat unused until I used it to hook up my new DSL yesterday, and didn't allow for all of the updates before uninstalling programs and downloading Firefox. When I finally got everything updated and installed malwarebytes, I couldn't get malwarebytes open. In Chameleon mode, it says it's Malwarebytes is running, but I only get a vbAccelerator SGrid II Control" error followed by a Run-time error '440' no matter what I do. My other programs seems to be working OK, but obviuosly there's still a problem(s). I can't use Combofix on my operating system, nor could I even do a repair installation if need be, but I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I did run a scan on my antivirus, but I have this old Etrust program that a PC Tech installed years ago, so I'm not sure if it's any good. I'm going to try to run Avast, but I have a feeling that whatever is on my PC is blocking any new installations of anti-virus/malware removal programs. Thanks in advance for your help.
