I got the same error. I don't think this is PC (infection) related issue. I scanned with NIS , BD , Avast all three gave me a clean chit. Coming next to registry issue. I first use ASC uninstaller to install new version , then I saw in this forum that there is Malwarebytes cleaner , so I used it all method failed (Did reboot after each process. The finally I tried to install the old version 1.75 and it was as simple as it should have been. To tec team of MB please look into this issue seriously. I am waiting for a new version without bugs. To other facing this problem , don't jump into conclusion that your PC is infected and do a harsh thing like format. I am an very old user of this product. I won't be happy to turn to others. I am expecting a quick new version .Thanks in advance.
