[Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware version 1.41 released]

No offense taken, I was just stating that if the only cause of the problem is removing those files, then I'd leave them alone .

It's hard to offend exile360 - -Thanks Mate -

Just updated / Quick scan / No problems -

[Remove Mcafee]

No problem Microsoft does have an anti-virus product in beta testing, called Microsoft Security Essentials

Even the Beta is not available in Australia - A limited out put for now -

[Remove Mcafee]

Thanks swagger - Always thought it was anti virus product -

[YahooAntiSpy finds, Mbam does not.]

"SPYzooka" (if you trust them) claim to have a Cmj spy remover - They rate it at 87/100 as a trojan -

Only an observation from a net search of CMJspy -

[Remove Mcafee]

Sorry advancedsetup - But how do most machines operate with windows own antivirus operating at the same time as installed ones -

Windows Defender runs regular scans even though most do not set times for it to operate ?? -

[noknojon can't log in]

Thanks to all - Logged out for 1 hour then logged back in and it WORKED -

Topic closed (for now ) -

[Remove Mcafee]

Expert said..only one on one machine

You can have 2 but you must disable 'real time protection' from one and only use it as a 'on call scanner' -

[noknojon can't log in]

Thanhs Ron - This P/word has got me back in -

I will change the settings as it said -

15 digit P/word - Must write it down as it relates to nothing (like my others did) -

[RooRepeal is stopped too!]

I'm tryiing to get rid of a pernicious parasite and none of the usual tools will run to completion.

This includes RootRepeal!!!

Welcome fred3 -

I assume you have tried to run Malwarebytes and SUPERantiSpyware, if so - Was there any infections found ??-

[IExplorer.exe*32 causing my CPU to Run at 50% Plus]

Hi gonwk -

The operation of Malwarebytes should be in normal mode as too many infections will be unavailable in safe mode - Same with S A S -

Too many people download it in safe mode and then run scans and report no problems - You must try to run a quick scan in normal mode -

Safe mode only "partially" opens your system so that you can usually download or perform basic operations when infected and need to bypass them -

Someone will check on the CPU thing later - At the moment mine is at 20-60% but I just noticed Avira scans had started -

Try Firefox for just a while -

[Avira Antivir]

Thanks Exile360 -

I only added AdAware due to the fact that it had released its Anniversary Edition thinking they may have added a bit more to it -

I thought it was mainly useful for 'small' problems (tracking cookies + advertising cookies etc.) -

[Is The Duck Dead]

Who said ALWAYS get a second opinion -

[Is Quick Scan really all you need?]

Correct, although this does change a bit when you're dealing with installers and droppers. Those will usually be hit if they're stored somewhere such as your desktop. Of course, the best way which would also let you avoid having to scan the file would be to use MBAM in realtime. If you've downloaded something that's bad and tried to execute it, MBAM's protection module would block it immediately (provided it's covered by MBAM of course) and would let you quarantine it .

Is that the best reason to also run S A S along side MBAM - As it seems similar but it also picks up the "smaller" items that MBAM will not ?? -

eg. Advertising cookies and things like that ?? -

[Avira Antivir]

I believe 100% -

Avira (removed AVG because it missed too much) - Spybot - S A S - MBAM - added AdAware the other day -

[malwarebytes cut-out]

If you do not want to download S A S then uninstall Malwarebytes fully and try to reinstall it -

[A bottle of wine]

"She who must be obeyed" would have finished it there and then - And loved it -

[malwarebytes cut-out]

Yes I did and I'm pretty sure I followed the option to remove them.

Do you also run SUPERantispyware - If so run this as well -

If not then download it and and run a quick scan -

[Broadband connection speed very erratic recently]

Agree with Advancedsetup now - Your ISP needs to respond in some way -

You can send an email or sit on the phone (take a cup of coffee usually) and usually freecall -

You have all the 'good' basic info (better than most who call) so they will (should) not 'fob you off' -

[malwarebytes cut-out]

First time through this worked great, thanks.

Then on second (and subsequent) attempt(s) the scan starts working but just cuts out after a couple of seconds. I've tried redownloading but same thing happens.

What am I doing wrong please?

Did you find any infections on the first scan ??

[Avira Antivir]

He lies. I can piss him off everytime I talk to him. It was probably a server problem between your ISP and MBAM. I have the same issue with another forum, unfortunatly for me it happens a couple of times a week.

exile360 - you stole my avatar

It must have been the only site on the web (MBAM forum) that was being "blocked" ??- (Thats why I needed to "suck up to him") -

I could download MBAM (I deleted my version in case, Fully) / update it / visited Yahoo forum / visited several other sites including Lunarsoft etc. -

It got to the login screen (the 'old' one) and then said I had put the wrong password too many times - I only could click on the login name and the name (noknojon) came up OK - Even an email (topic notification) from MBAM site would not let me access the site past the 'old' login screen -

Even deleted Taruns latest tool-kit that includes MBAM - They would ALL reinstall quite easily - I have had it only one other time and then I still got in -

[downloading mbam from homepage]

But most of the times it leads you to cnet.com, thats reliable site.

I welcome your comments.

I fully deleted all MBAM in case it was ever confused with Beta - From Australia, I Googled it, and went to what appeared to be the "genuine"

Malwarebytes site and was redirected to C net also - I did not check if there was other sites but this appeared to direct you to the home site -

[Avira Antivir]

Not ISP - Downloaded updates for all antivirus that I scanned - Plus accessed other sites to make sure -

Changed to F/fox and Safari incase it was an I.E. problem -

Appears all OK now thanks -

It was MBAM site that blocked me - Not I.E. -

Got to logon for MBAM forum logon and then got message -

[Avira Antivir]

Was a serious statement - I logged out for a while (daughter came round) and it took two and a half hours to get back on ?? -

This is not something I would joke about - I ran MBAM quick and full - Spybot - SAS quick and full - (I have been scanned flat out) -

Avira did it's midday (local) thing -

Compare the times from 'silly' reply to 'sorry' reply - Less half hour -

[Avira Antivir]

No worries, I've got a sense of humor . I'm not easily offended either, even when someone is actually trying to do so (which I know you weren't ).

I'm sorry if I offended any people (exile360 my good friend) but I have not been able to log in for several hours -

I ran all the scans and only Spybot found a Windows problem -(MBAM short and long scans first) -

Has there been an overload or was it my end - I kept getting a wrong log in screen -(Try in 15 mins-Try in 9 mins-Try in 3 mins) -

When I.E. failed I used F/fox / then Safari - All the same - Even a reply to a direct email from here -
