MBAM still using 25% aka 1 full thread but no disk usage and still can't open.

also does windows defender affect FRST from running? I did turn it off in safe mode but wasn't sure if that counts as AV/AM. I only use MBAM ATM. I do have kaspersky on my desktop but not on my laptop ATM

okay, I booted into safe mode and ran the fix and it appears to have ran this time. Chrome tabs and windows were saved I think because of session buddy. Logins were wiped. Diskcheck did run and a log was created. I uploaded the log to this post. was my issues caused by java and norton being trash garbage? Also, I still can't open MBAM atm. Is it because its running some sort of scan and bogged down? Fixlog.txt

I still can't open it but its running in background using 25% of my CPU. My guess is its using 100% of a single thread. I have an 8550u set to 44w TDP so runs 40/40/37/37 multiplier per core count. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/122589/intel-core-i78550u-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-00-ghz.html

Previously when I was able to get the fix to run in FRST64 it ran and rebooted but it never ran a diskcheck and it never wiped chrome. I just wanted to clarify. Do you want me to rerun FRST and get new FRST and additions logs to confirm that everything is working/fixed after running the fix?

although, KVRT was not able to see/scan my opened (mounted) encrypted Veracrypt containers. It did scan everything else. I had everything clicked in paramaters so it scanned all my hard drives that it could see minus the veracrypt containers.

nothing was found. This was it.

okay, I was able to get MBAM to not start at boot and I reran the fix. The fix ran and my laptop rebooted just like last time but no checkdisk ran and chrome didn't get wiped. Here is new log. Fixlog.txt

oh, I can right-click on MBAM in tray but when I click quit for MBAM nothing happens. It won't close. I also can't kill it in task manager. it is just stuck running glitched

Oh, when I run this fix MBAM is running in background. Is it preventing me from running the fix? Remember, I can not open MBAM so I can not turn it off. What should I do?

I do get the pop up from MBAM but program still won't open. Also I confirmed that JAVA and CCleaner are not in my add and remove program list

I redid it again and I dont think it worked. Does ooshutup10 affect this? Also chrome never got wiped and MBAM doesn't open. Also my laptop is crashing every night now after I turn off my TV. It used to only crash sporadically but now crashes every time since running this. :/ I also deleted the previous fixlog and previous fixlist and redownload the fixlist before rerunning it all to make sure there were no conflicts. I also run this in my download folder. Fixlog.txt

did this work? Fixlog.txt

should i kill mbam in task manager before running fix

Addition.txt FRST.txt

I have tried about 4 or 5 times and even rebooted once in between the 4/5 tries. All I get is an error message roughly saying "blank file was unable to be created contact support".

Every time, I install MBAM it works for about a week then it stops to open. I uninstall and reinstall and the same thing happens after about a week. 1) MBAM is running in task Manager 2) it shows in system tray 3) it shows activity in task manger 4) I right click on it and the "right click menu/list" pops up (menu with the 4 features to turn on/off exit etc) whenever I try to open it it won't open/load. What should I do and why does it always do this after a few days or weeks or so? I also always run a 100% scan when I install it so root kits, memory, scan every file on computer and system etc. and never finds any issue.

Also NVMe standard is now starting to really gain traction so thats something should be considered if you actually optimize scans.

any news?

https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/21985-multithreaded-scanning/ heres the old post i was referring to as well. It got a canned message at the end we are always improving

here they explain it soooo much better than me http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-gaming-performance,2991-3.html

crap....setting a depth of a que works on any OS and the depth should be something easy to control...granted I know very little about actual coding but all your doing really is making a batch request instead of individual requests. It allows the controller in ANY HDD/SSD or what what you request everything at once in a sequential manner (I think...I might be getting some of this wrong but the jist should be right.)

queue depth exists for everything. That was just an explanation in a server sense. The link to dropbox shows my Sandisk Extreme Pro SATA 3 SSD which is a high end consumer SSD. You can clearly see Q32 4K 9-18 times faster than Q1 4K (standard 4K above the Q32) You get similiar result even with a cheap Samsung 830 (version before the EVOs)

I don't see an edit button for posts so sorry for double post. I just wanted to say sorry for not explaining well with the terms. I understand how it works but I rarely use these terms so I might be off a bit in using the right words plus I am rushed becuase I keep forgetting to post this and I have a dead line in an hour and 45 mins

How many request are sent at once. SSDs are much much faster when you have Q32 4K requests or even multithreaded 512K requests. Queue depth is the number of I/O requests (SCSI commands) that can be queued at one time on a storage controller. Each I/O request from the host's initiator HBA to the storage controller's target adapter consumes aqueue entry So here is my SSD https://www.dropbox.com/s/wkc1oy6pwtoa6sc/1.png?dl=0 See the difference for 4K when it has a queue depth of 32? NVMe will have a much higher depth limit. The intel 750 can do 128 or more IIRC. normal drives are limited to 32 depth. The ability to queue that deep would do wonders of making it faster along with allowing multiple threads. It honestly is disappointing if mutithread support was being worked on 6 years ago and yet has not been added :/
