Dammit, I thought we'd licked the problem there for a minute. Sorry about that. If I come up with anything else I'll be sure to let you know. I think it might be some kind of registry problem, but I can't seem to find out exactly where the source of it is.

Thanks Firefox. I must admit though that it wasn't actually me that discovered this workaround. I spotted somewhere that a user tried this and it worked, so I'm really just passing on the information.

Excellent news, Caske. I will pass it on to the support team.

This error is proving very tricky to pin down. If you want to, there is one more thing you could try. Create a new account with Admin privileges. Install MBAM from the new account, then see if MBAM will work in your usual account. If it does work, you can then delete the new account that you created. If you do try this, please let me know how you get on.

I completely agree with exile 360. Avira and MSE are excellent free AV products. Personally, I prefer to put MSE on my customers computers because it is completely free and doesn't flash up any nag screens etc. For paid protection, I also recommend ESET NOD32 for slower computers and Kaspersky for the modern faster computers. I an not keen on AVG because it doesn't pass all the Spycar tests. So, whilst it may be a sort of OK antivirus program, it's not going to be very effective if some 'Rogue' AV/AS product tries to take over your computer. Obviously I also recommend MBAM realtime protection

That's a really nice retail box. I hope you can get it into PC World and Staples in the UK. They are on the TV all the time over here and I think they would sell a lot of boxes.
