Latest version locksup after removing PUP

[mellowguyone]

I have the latest version (today's update) and removed PUP funweb with it. But after restarting the computer, MalwareBytes will only get to about 45,000 files before it locks up the program and then the computer when I try to abort.

I have restarted the computer four times now and each time it locks up at about the same file count but in different locations of scanned files. I have to do a hard boot of the computer to get back.

Has PUP infected even MB too and therefore I can't proceed?

How do I resolve this so that MB can do a full scan?

Please run the following and post back the logs

Download

DDS

from here:

dds.scr

or here:

dds.com

and save it to your desktop.

Temporarily disable any script blocker if your Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware has it.

Once downloaded you can disconnect from the Internet and disable your Ant-Virus temporarily if needed.

Then double click

dds.scr

or

dds.com

to run the tool, on

Vista or Win 7

right click and select

Run as administrator

Click the

Run

button if prompted with an

Open File - Security Warning

dialog box.

A black DOS console should open and run for a moment.

When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:

1. DDS.txt
   
   
2. Attach.txt

• Save both reports to your desktop
• Please include the following logs in your next reply:
  DDS.txt
  and
  Attach.txt
  
  
  You can ignore the note about zipping the Attach.txt file in most cases.

As requested: the dds and attach files.

The Event Logs from your computer indicate that you may potentially have an infection, or if nothing else you need some PC maintenance at least.

I would recommend you seek assistance with at least having the system checked out for any possible infection. If nothing is found then we can take a look at doing some PC maintenance in the PC Help forum.

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.
