Hi again, I disabled my antivirus program(Avira),and Windows firewall, and downloaded DDS to my desktop.I couldn't find any reference to script blocking by that name in either of the two.I ran DDS and it ended with what looked like a long railroad track with a horizontal blinking cursor under it.DDS never opened,no reports were generated. The DDS screen wouldn't minimize or close.I tried to shut Windows down but it wouldn't close.I finally had to pull the power supply cord. Please advise, Junkle

Hi, It's me again.Something in my computer has sunk its teeth into Malwarebyte and won't let it open or function in any capacity. I've reinstalled the program three times from the disk.One of the installations worked for a brief period of time.The scan found nothing. This time I followed your instructions below and downloaded from CNET and hit run.I got a second page asking me to run,which I did.It said the download was complete but when I went to start>search it wasn't on my computer. The next download I saved and when I tried to open it access was denied.This was the free download.Nowhere in this entire process did I have the opportunity(or was asked)to provide my access code for the PRO version. Can you suggest any program,diagnostic or anything that will resolve this issue?Would contacting Malwarebyte directly be of any value? Thank you so much for your time. Junkle

Hello all, This my first post as a new member.After reinstalling the program three times from the backup CD,I found that protection was disabled.I enabled it and tried to update the software and database to the latest version and received the following message "An error has occurred.Please report this error code to our support team.PROGRAM_ERROR_UPDATING(32,0,CreateFile)The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." I have Malwarebytes'Anti-Malware (PRO). Many thanks for your help. Junkle
