    MBAM won't run(Fix)

    in PC Self-Help Articles and Guides

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Newer variants of this malware have become more inventive in how they stay installed on machines by attacking all cleaning softwares/tools so they do not run.

    In fact the malware only allows certain core system components to run and your browser.

    Everything else is flagged by the software as infected and blocked from running.

    The truth is they are not infected and the malware is in fact the software that is causing the issue's and trying to get you to buy it in order to remove the problem.

    Symptoms are very obvious and if it is installed there is no escaping the raft of fake alerts generated by the software and the fact that virtually all your other software are no longer able to run.

    The fix(s) :)

    If you already have MBAM installed on your computer.

    Please navigate to the MBAM folder located in the Program Files directory.

    Locate MBAM.exe and rename it to winlogon.exe

    Once renamed double click on the file to open MBAM and select Quick Scan

    At the end of the scan allow MBAM to remove what it had found then reboot.

    Goodbye SystemSecurity :)

    If MBAM is not installed

    Download the following file and save to your desktop.

    http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe

    Rename the file to winlogon.exe and the run it.

    Inorder to get MBAM installed you will need to identify and terminate/kill the SystemSecurity process.

    As you see from the screenshot it very easily identified by its shield icon and use of random numbers for its executable. eg 1234567.exe 638476435.exe 453732.exe and the list goes on.

    Highlight the shield icon/random.exe line and rightclick and select kill process.

    SystemSecurity will no longer be active in memory but is still installed so best let MBAM rip it good and proper :)

    • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
    • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:
    • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When completed, a log will open in Notepad and if required the program will ask you to reboot to remove locked files.

    Reboot and byebye SystemSecurity :)

    We hope our application has helped you eradicate this malicious Malware.

    If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through please consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for additional protection against these types of malware.

    **Subnote**

    If after removing System Security you are experiencing MBAM finding Trojan.Agent and Rootkit.Trace but it is failing to remove them then you have been infected with a blended(multiple) infection and also have the CLB WinNT/Alureon rootkit active on your computer.

    Here is the canned fix/solution for removing that rootkit>>>

    Ok thats getting a bit better,

    Those service entries are only orphaned values as the driver(s) they load no longer exist but we will clean them up shortly.

    Just noticed you now have a 4th rootkit onboard NDIS.sys patcher,that was some nasty infection you have had onboard :P

    Lets try and attack this and cleanup the orphaned values :)

    Ok it is possible that you have an active dropper on your pc that installed the older variant and service entry is not to be worried about for now.

    If we kill both drivers present then we can get your PC cleaned up from there :P

    For now please do as i have directed>>>

    Open RootRepeal and run hidden file scan only,

    Locate both the following lines only and select *wipe file* for each one.

    Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\SKYNEToyfjtpeo.sys

    Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

    Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UAClnrhkbdoqcnoofq.sys

    Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

    Next you most reboot your PC, install update and run MBAM quickscan and then post back the log that MBAM generates.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi my bad on communication AS,my CLB walkthrough suggested folks start topic in HJT forum if they were not sure which driver to hit and post up rootrepeal log.

    Hi Dansar and welcome to the MBAM forums :P

    You have 2 variants of CLB driver infection onboard, UAC and the very recent Skynet variant

    These are they 2 drivers you need to wipe with rootrepeal after hidden file scan then reboot.

    Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\SKYNEToyfjtpeo.sys

    Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

    Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UAClnrhkbdoqcnoofq.sys

    Status: Invisible to the Windows API!

    Once rebooted attempt to install,update and run Quickscan with MBAM :)

    Simple Question On Free Version

    in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi,

    When you installed MBAM did you decline to update the Database to the current version ?

    The reason i ask is that on the initial install of the software it has the old definitions database that was current when that version of the software was released.

    Since then a number of detections and types of detections have been reviewed and removed from the definitions database.

    This could be the cause of what you are seeing.

    Please advise; my further concern is it's not finding any infected files & by the time it is stalling it is already nearly finished. I know that this virus is on my computer though. So if you have any thoughts about that as well I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Thanks so much for all your help!

    Hi,

    If it is stalling towards the end of ths scan at the same point then there is the potential for one scenario that i have witnessed whilst using MBAM to clean out infections dropped by P2P worms.

    The last part of the MBAM scan is what we call Heur+EXTRA's and is what we hit alot of malware out with.

    The issue i experienced was there was a folder with over 22,000 copies of a worm inside of it so when MBAM encountered this folder it took it some 40mins to enumerate and check all the files within(of which all were detected as Worm.Archive).

    The time it took to enumerate all the files in the folder would have given the appearance of the software stalling but in fact it was just working overtime due to the sheer volume of extra workload on it.

    Try scanning again in regular mode then leaving the pc alone for a couple of hours to see if MBAM is able to complete the scan.

    Be prewarned if this is the same scenario as what is occuring on your pc then it will also take a long time also for MBAM to delete the files at the end of the scan because of the sheer volume of removals. We are talking gb's of worm replicated files.

    Banning me will not help, I can go from server to server all US and CANADA and open new accounts and we will not even know..

    Claudiu,

    Canada

    Ah of course now your colours are coming out for all to see.

    Yes we are aware how you harrassed and trolled the Kaspersky help forums for the last 3 years also!

    Anyway it's a fact of life that forum trolls exist and have nothing better then to spread FUD but at least now we have a point of reference for any of your future activities at our forums.

    I'm going to lock this thread as there is no more dicussion to be had here but just a piece of sincere advice which most of us will agree on.

    Get a life!!!
