My desktop computer has a virus that won't allow me to open any programs, when I try to open them from the desktop a popup appears asking me which program I want to use to open it. Internet Explorer is the only option. Using safe mode I am able to open malwarebytes, only by running it as administrator, but when I try to run a scan an error box pops up that says: "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch". I've looked all over to try and find a solution, but the ones I've found don't work so I'm making my own post. I apologize if you have answered this question before. In my search for answers a forum suggested running RootRepeal and asked for the report to be posted, here it is: Thank you so much for any help you can give!

There are two tools you can use to get going again.

1. fixncr.reg, this will fix the icons won't work problem. second post in this link had the download link.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic434612.html

2. Rkill, rkill is a small executable, no need to install. READ THE DESCRIPTION.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

After rkill has run successfully, you can then run MBAM, update, and run a full scan.

I used both of them but I still get the same error message. Does it make a difference that I'm running malwarebytes from a flash drive, I had to download malwarebytes on my laptop because my desktop couldnt access it. So I copied from my laptop to the flash drive and then ran the executable file off of it on the desktop.

Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....

Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make recovery difficult

You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below:

  • Option 1 —— Free Expert advice in the Malware Removal Forum
  • Option 2 —— Paying customer -- Contact Support via email
  • Option 3 —— Premium, Fee-Based Support

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the
General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum
, you need to start a topic in the

Malware Removal forum

so a qualified helper can help you fix any malware related problems/infections you may have.

  • Please read and follow the
    directions here
    , skipping any steps you are unable to complete.

  • After posting your new post, make sure under
    options
    , you select
    Track this topic
    and choose
    Immediate Email Notification
    ,

    so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.

NOTE:

Please do not post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.

Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies.

If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.
