Can't enable website blocking - MBAM Pro

[dlb]

I installed MBAM Pro, activated it, and everything seems to be OK except I can't enable website blocking. I have uninstalled MBAM, run the "mbam-clean" tool, re-installed MBAM (with a reboot between each step) and still I can't enable web site blocking. The option is listed, but clicking on it does nothing; the check-box remains empty. The same thing happens if I try using the MBAM icon in the system tray down by the clock, and that icon is not red, it's kind of black or dark-dark purple (the other screen shot). I attached a screen shot below even though it probably wasn't necessary. There's a bit of a rush on this so if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc, PLEASE post!

Thanks!

Oh yeah - this is a Vista 32bit SP1 PC, the MBAM is the newest release, version 1.65.0.1400....

Hello and welcome, dlb:

Sorry you are having a problem fully enabling the protection module.

Initially just reboot the computer once or twice, then open the program > protection tab > make sure both the protection modules are checked (enabled). Note: on slower systems, you may need to wait up to 10 seconds for the change to occur, as it's a live change, not just a check mark. Reboot again.

If that doesn't resolve the issues, please follow the instructions below and post back with the following logs:

• Checkresults.txt from mbam-check
  
• A couple of protection logs, if you have them
  
• DDS.txt from DDS
  
• Attach.txt from DDS
  

These will provide the MBAM staff with a bit of information that will permit them to pinpoint the cause and the solution for you.

Thanks!

PS Why are you missing SP2 for Vista? Vista SP1 was EOL ages ago and is a security vulnerability for your system. <just asking>

-----------------------------

Step 1 -- Create an mbam-check log:

Download mbam-check.exe from HERE and save it to your desktop.

Double-click on mbam-check.exe to run it, it should then open a log file.

Please copy and paste the entire contents of the log into your next post, or, if you prefer, you may attach the CheckResults.txt file which should now be located on your desktop to your next post instead

Then, if you can, please also upload your 3 most recent Protection module logs:

In Windows XP, these logs are located in: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs

In Windows Vista/7, these logs are located in: C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs

Step 2 -- Run DDS and create 2 logs:

Download DDS from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop:

dds.scr

dds.com

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

How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs

Once it is 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 both of 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 to why this is SP1 vs SP2 . . . it's not my PC, but I was planning on updating to SP2 and IE9 as soon as this MBAM issue is solved. There were some other minor software issues which have been sorted out except for this last MBAM problem..... anyway.... I have attached the requested logs as zip files (I hope ZIPs are OK).

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I might just back up the PC owner's data, then format and install Vista SP2 clean just to be sure that everything is 100% copacetic.

OK..... I'll think I'll go with plan B in the interest of time: I've already saved the owner's data to an external drive... now I'm gonna wipe the drive and install a clean OS.... thanks for your help!

Ok your welcome, during you wipe process make sure you delete the partitions and create a new fresh one that way you will take care of any possible carry overs from rootkits or mbr infections.

Should you need further assistance let us know....
