I downloaded Malwarebytes and Emsisoft yesterday to correct a malware problem I was having in Chrome. That problem has been corrected. I also have ZoneAlarms free version of firewall and antivirus. Today I am getting this error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application"
whenever I try to open just about any program: word, excel, quickbooks, adobe, games, etc. Chrome works. Malwarebytes wont open but shows its running in the task bar.
I have already tried changing the value of AppInit_Dlls to 1 at this location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_Dlls and at WOW6432node location, These had no effect. I have also been able to run windows update which did not correct the error. I have tried to remove Emsisoft and Malwarbytes but I am unable to remove either of them. I have also tried to restore Windows to a date prior to installing these programs and I is unable to complete.
Please help.
