Even if the computer is new, it does not mean its not faulty.... Run those test as stated above as well as some test to test the memory and hard drive along with the motherboard.

Hello and A quick scan is all that is really needed for a user with admin rights. It will scan all important locations in all profiles, and help you remove any threats. The only thing that it can't scan is the registry settings for the other profiles that are specific for those users. Even though it can not scan the registry, once the files are removed (IE the infection) once you log-on as one of the other users, the registry key would be invalid so it would not re-infect the computer. For best results (and its my preference really) I would do a quick scan under each user.

You need to check the Event Logs if you can logon at the console. If you can logon the event logs almost certainly will tell you in more detail what's going on.

Delete what? a GPO?

Hello and I am not on the Malwarebytes staff, but the pro version should be able to protect you, along with your anti-virus software. Malwarebytes Web Blocker function in the PRO version should block some if not most of these sites and attacks. The database gets updated at least 5 to more times a day.

Hello and Glad you like Malwarebytes, it is definitely the best in malware protection and removal.... That being said, if the items are already in the quarantine, you can leave them there, they in no way are active and can no longer cause problems with your computer unless you were to restore them. I tend to leave items in my quarantine for a while to make sure there was not a false positive and something was removed that was needed. (no one is perfect and mistakes do occur from time to time). I may empty the quarantine after a few months pass by and I confirm my system is working without issues. Either way its a matter of choice, but once you have removed it from the quarantine tab, there is no going back.

as stated above... as long as it is a reputable dealer/seller and perhaps if you can find it in its original container unopen that would be great! I have purchased some ram from eBay before unopened.

You could try a repair install....

Your quite welcome....

did you check that microsoft article I posted? Did you create any GPO's on this server?

You are most welcome.... should you have other questions or comments don't hesitate to ask....

Yes Malwarebytes has automatic updates as well as scheduled scans in the PRO version.

1. First check your DNS make sure its working correctly 2. Are you getting any errors on the server in event viewer 3. Did you install anything new, like anti-virus (Endpoint has been known to cause a login issue) Here is a good tool Diagnosing and Troubleshooting Active Directory Problems

Here is a cool site where you can enter your computer information and it will tell you exactly how much RAM you can put in your computer and what type to buy, it will also give you links of where you can buy it. The site is FOR PNY MEMORY

It is a lifetime license and not only that, you can transfer the license from one computer to another one.

Flying Horse, Malwarebytes does not scan some types of files, for example pictures. They only scan files that are know to be executable or malicious. This is not entirely correct, there are known threats and viruses that can attach themselves to these types of files. For example here is an article at MSNBC that talks about it.

OK thanks for that, I posted cause I got a few PM's asking me the question so I thought I put it out here for others to benefit from.

Like this new layout, and getting used to it, just wondering what are the different colors on the folders for the topics mean? Some have like what looks like a notepad on them too? See attached image. Thanks
