It is a conflict with MBAM and your anti-virus. On your other computers you mention you have windows 7. Malwarebytes installed on windows 7 is setup as a delayed start, that is why it loads last after you anti-virus has already loaded. On Windows XP there is no delayed start-up in the services. This is why I am asking you to add these exclusions and that should solve your issues. Alternatively, as a paying customer, you can contact the help desk at support@malwarebytes.org or here. They may give you other solutions as well.

Not too familiar myself with NOD32, but these instructions my get you started.... To add exclusions to Est Anti-Virus This Item<--- was sent from a moderator at the Est A/V forum to show how to add the exclusions required - Below are the files that need to be excluded... Please exclude the following files from your Antivirus: Note: If using a software firewall besides the built in Windows Firewall you'll need to exclude them from it as well For Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.dll C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys For Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.dll C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys For 64 bit versions of Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.dll C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys C:\Windows\SysWoW64\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys Note: If using a software firewall besides the built in Windows Firewall you'll need to exclude MBAM.EXE and MBAMSERVICE.EXE from it as well Note: Once that's done, please make sure that if either of those programs has any sort of web filter, that you add the following as a trusted site: data-cdn.mbamupdates.com The FAQ contains examples of setting file exclusions for some known AV products Please post back and let us know how it went.

Please see my reply in your other post Located Here..... No need to post in two locations... Thanks

Hello and I am not on the Malwarebytes staff but if I am wrong they are free to correct me.... It seems that something had made changes to the way notepad works on your computer, it could have been the program you installed. It is OK to quarantine the items... As for the Malwarebytes asking for permission to run after the restart, this is normal behavior, it is just asking for permission to continue the cleanup process. (this should only happen one time after a cleanup). Hope this answers your question.

Hello and Please provide following details, so that someone may be able to assist you: OS version including 32/64-bit (Win XP) Installed Security Product(s) including Firewall and Program Versions (Anti-Virus?) MBAM version (current 1.50.1.1100) (Free or Pro) Definition version (current 5561) You may have to just add exceptions into your anti-virus program, but we need to know what version so we can give you the right instructions....

Hello and Please follow the instructions from Buttons above.... but if you would like to try the instructions in our self guided, you can find them in the self guide section titled Removal instructions for System Tool you can click on the link I left...

Hello and B) What you are seeing is Malwarebytes doing its job. The web-blocker is stopping connections to your computer that could possibly infect your computer. This is common when using torrent programs and P2P programs. To disable IP block notifications open Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and click on the Protection tab. Uncheck the box next to Show tooltip balloon when malicious website is blocked. then close Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. There should be no more notifications when a malicious site is blocked but the IP blocker will still be working .

Hi, and Welcome to Malwarebytes! There was no need to wipe everything and start over.... Next time come seek assistance from the experts here, and its free.... The instructions below for the next time.... Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process: You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below: [*]Option 1

Looks like a nice work around... for those using McAfee Total Protection/Security Center

Hello and Going to where daledoc1 has directed you to above is an excellent idea. Did you have encryption turned on those drives before you did the update to SP1? (that could be why this happened) I updated two computers last night and 2 this morning and did not encounter any issues. (Lucky Me)

Hello and It does sound like your router was a victim of an attack. As to what caused it, that's hard to know. Even though your scans came up clean, if you want to be sure there is not something hiding like a root kit for example, you may want to post your logs in the HJT section for the experts to take a look at them. Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process: You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below: [*]Option 1

Hello and To fix the NO_ITEMS_SELECTED error, MBAM_ERROR_NO_ITEMS_SELECTED (0,0) this is all you have to do..... Open Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and click on the Settings tab Click on the Scanner Settings tab Check the box next to each of the following: Scan memory objects. Scan startup objects. Scan registry objects. Scan filesystem objects. Scan additional items against heuristics. Enable advanced heuristics engine. (Heuristics.Shurikent) [*]I'd also recommend making sure that in the drop down boxes at the bottom of that tab, that the following are selected: Action for potentially unwanted programs (PUP): Show in results list and check for removal Action for potentially unwanted modifications (PUM): Show in results list and check for removal

Sorry to hear you keep getting infected. If your current security solution let this infection through, you might please consider purchasing the FULL version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for additional protection. Thank you for using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Activating the full version unlocks realtime protection, scheduled scanning, and scheduled updating. You may need to make sure you also have an Up To Date Anti-Virus program.

Geoman Sorry no one has replied to you, it would have been better to start your own topic for better results. Anyway Please add: data-cdn.mbamupdates.com to your Norton Internet security firewall to allow access. See if that helps.....

In one simple answer.... YES.... But not one software can detect 100% of all malware out there, this is why it is important to have layered security.

Since you are getting too may errors there, I think it may be a good idea to post in the malware removal section to make sure you don't have any infections we don't know about causing these errors. Once you are given the all clear and if you still have issues we can go from there. Hi, and Welcome to Malwarebytes! Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process: You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below: [*]Option 1

during the unzipping process I would think, since it is accessing the file. If I put a malware file in a folder and then enable the protection from Malwarebytes, all I have to do is browse that folder and it will detect it even if I don't click on it.

Just to add.... The process you are explaining is the job of your anti-virus software....

Doing a search on the forum revealed several results where this has been answered before, even from one of the admins (AdvancedSetup) Right HERE No need to post on the same subject twice....
