Hi Buttons - This is his business computer - I will verify with him that p2p's are not on there. But I would venture to say no. Thanks for the help.

I just had a friend purchase and install mbam. He is now getting about 2-3 times an hour at :15 past the hour a blocked outgoing IP address. His machine is clean as far as I can tell. I have run TDSSkiller, GMER, autoruns, process explorer, gmer's mbr.exe and of course mbam and they are all clean. My question is there any semi-benign (ie. web surfing ad's) ways that a process/program would be trying to get out. The IP is in the Ukraine. Or is it most likely an infection that I'm missing.

I will try when I get a chance - have to get some work done now. Though I will say with the problem with chkdsk - I don't there are any issues with the backup programs per se or least it goes beyond that. If I was to guess though all 3 programs chkdsk and 2 backup programs - I believe interface with VSS. I think you should look there.

I followed your directions and installed mbam 1.50 and added the exclusions to the 2 folders and then rebooted. I did run mbam-clean first. Symptoms came back - the backup programs not running. I also checked the chkdsk scheduling and this was broke also. After removal with mbam-clean - everything works as it should including the chkdsk scheduling from windows gui. I am running MSE as AV.

After install of 1.5 last night - I noticed this morning that my two backup programs (syncbackpro for local backup and JungleDisk for cloud backup) didn't run. I tried to run SBpro manually - it wouldn't run - I rebooted - wouldn't run. I tried jungledisk - could not run a manual backup - just seemed to freeze with nothing being backed up. Removed mbam and rebooted - everything is back to normal. There is something very wrong with MBAM 1.5 and backup programs. I also tried to schedule a chkdsk via windows GUI and I couldn't - the GUI just seemed to freeze - very strange. Now works fine with mbam uninstalled. I have used all prior versions of mbam without incident. Win7/64. Thanks.

Sorry to interject. Did you try this. Right-Click->View->Show Desktop Icons

I just had this same error code (7e) with a friends machine. The only way that I could fix it was doing a windows repair install. Things I tried that didn't work. 1) Using BartPE to restore registry - restored fine but still no boot. 2) replacing recently changed files in system32 with originals 3) Using BartPE to scan and clean drive - scanned and cleaned but no boot I'm sure this is not the only way to fix this - but it worked for me. You will need to re-activate windows after the repair.

If you want to PM me the 1.44 fix - I will test it with my win7 64bit. I helped with the 1.43 fix which is working great for me now. Just want to make sure you didn't break the 1.43 fix at least for me .

I am running win7 64bit with MS security essentials. IP protection is disabled, real-time protection enabled.

I am having NO memory problems with 1.43 (as a matter of fact mbamservice is currently at 18M - very nice!!) with 1.42 it was running at 400-500M. For what its worth.

My computer has been up for 2 days and mbam is now taking up nearly 400MB. I am using Win7 64bit and MBAM 1.42 - didn't have this problem with 1.41. It has crept higher slowly but surely (I think when I first booted it was at like 65MB) - I have not brought the GUI up at all.

Yes 200Meg. Boy 200k would be awesome!! To be exact it is now taking 197,816K.

mbamservice is using nearly 200k on mine. Win7 64bit.

I just made a small addition to the last log batch file. Now you can run it from any directory not just the log directory. @echo offset mdir="%UserProfile%\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs"cd %mdir% dir *.txt /b /on > systext.bakFOR /F "delims=" %%i in (systext.bak) do set sysRunCommand=%%icall "%sysRunCommand%"del /f systext.bak
