byte_king, Perhaps you should get your machine checked out in the malware removal forum.

Sorry Chris; It's a live feed cam view into a Red Panda's home... Adorable! I found it on the Firefox Google homepage, so I thought I'd share. hehe Shy, just trying to follow instructions... unless its Microsoft, Piriform, ATF, or a Mbam forum link, I have been making it non-clickable, to be on the safe side

Thanks for the link. However, you should have posted that to begin with, if that is what your post was about

@wijllie No, I do not have an on-boot update schedule, at least not as far as I know. I update nearly everything on this machine manually, except for Malwarebytes , which I have an hourly update schedule set for, on the half hour of the hour. (FX updates by itself... if I don't discover the update first ) The main issue here is it failing at start up sometimes. It didn't happen today, and if it had happened, it would have been the every other time... so it seems to be mostly completely random. It's happened 3 times total now. I know to delete rules.ref and I know I could do a clean install... believe me, I know how to do that, especially after beta testing beta for a while... I am no stranger to that I don't think that either one of those is the issue here. The updating thing that happened, deleting rules.ref would probably fix that no doubt, but that isn't my main concern. It's just a bit frustrating when it fails at start-up. Yeah, I can re-enable protection after it fails (and I have been) but I'd just like to get to the bottom of the issue if possible. If it is not possible, I can live with it, but I would really like to get this figured out. Thanks though P.S, please try to use the add-reply button

Hello walker30, and welcome to the forums here at Malwarebytes.org Please read the following so that you may begin the cleaning process: We don't work on Malware removal in the general forums. Please read and follow the directions here, skipping any steps you are unable to complete. Then post a NEW topic here. One of the expert helpers there will give you one-on-one assistance when one becomes available. Please note that it may take 48 hours or more for you to receive a response in the malware removal forum, as it is often busy at times. Please do not reply to your own post asking for help unless it's been more than 48 hours since you originally posted, as this can make it appear as though you are being helped and take longer for you to get help. If you are unable to do all or any of the steps in the link to the directions above, just post your problem into the forum I gave you a link to anyway and someone will be able to assist you. Also, when replying, please use the "ADD REPLY" button located at the bottom of the page, as this makes the forum easier to read.

Is it in ISO format? Did you make it from this website? http://www.sarducd.it/ There also seems to be a tutorial: http://www.sarducd.it/tutorial.html This should be helpful too: http://www.wikihow.com/Boot-Computer-from-CD

I am starting to think that this is something that happens every other bootup, since so far it happens every other time I turn the computer on from shut down. Is there anything that can be done to diagnose the issue? Thanks

awww lol

and again Oh and this is interesting. I didn't realize it until I was looking at today's log again, since I didn't use our computer today before just now: (full protection log from today)

Sorry I'm a bit late. Hello and welcome!! Enjoy your stay here!

:)

I just wanted to say, thank you for that information Exile It's good to know! I was already about 98% sure of that anyway, but this confirms it for me

Oh that's peachy. Cost all that money to make it and the money isn't good anyway.... Sad.

Happy Birthday

Not all spam/scam emails will tell you to click, and I'm sure some of the scammers are hoping people will click anyway... It's always best to go to the website via a bookmark/favorite listing that you made, or typing it directly into the address bar. Never click on a link in an email unless YOU requested the email and you KNOW it's safe. When in doubt, do not click. If you are concerned that you're infected, please do follow Button's directions above. As long as you didn't click on it though, and contacted Amazon as Shy suggested, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. I would also recommend changing the password to the email that you use to log into Amazon as well, just as a precaution.

Well it did NOT happen again today, so I'll just be on the lookout for the occurance and post back here if it happens again. Strange though that it happened two days in a row.

I think that the animated icon is a good idea

Yay! Let us know how you like it

If I were you, I would change your Amazon password, and you might even consider alerting Amazon about the incident as well.

Hello and welcome! There is much to read and learn about here, and never hesitate to ask a question should you have any! Cheers
