Hi,

As of several weeks ago, I can;t run malware bytes in either normal or safe modes. Tried direct mbam.exe, also the other exes in malwarebytes folder, also chameleon variants. None run

Chameleon variants can usually cause update, but fail to run exe.

Everything else seems to be okay, so other obvious sign of infection. Running McAfee

macAfee SecurityCenter 11.0 build 11.0.649

macAfee VirusScan 15.0 build 15.0.294

macAfee Personal Firewall 12.0 build 12.0.345

macAfee AntiSpam 12.0 build 12.0.292

Ran FarbarServiceScanner, exeHelper, tdskiller, gmer, stinger, portable superantispyware,

none found problems. McAfee reports no problems,

Access to malewarebytes website seems a bit hit and miss

attach.txt and dds.txt attached.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help

Alan

(ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.)

2. Install ERUNT by following the prompts

(use the default install settings but say no to the portion that asks you to add ERUNT to the start-up folder, if you like you can enable this option later)

3. Start ERUNT

(either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup)

4. Choose a location for the backup

(the default location is C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT which is acceptable).
