Malware temporaraly overwrote malwarebytes.

[Roraborialis]

I temporaraly had a malware temporarally overwrite malwarebytes....

And masquarade as it....

Adding dozens of DLL's, from dozens of programs to the malwarebytes quarentine list, rendering most of them inoperable.

Malwarebytes: Vbalsgrid6.ocx (Caused "runtime error 339" to occur when I tried to run the real malwarebytes,) Mbamservice.exe, \

Flux: Flux.exe (Disabled one of my favorite applets.)

Steam: Half its DLL's.

Taskmanager: It would simply close taskmanager

Fortunately, chamelion was able to kill it, and I was forcedd to reinstall malwarebytes.

However, I now have hundreds of DLL's quarenteened, and virtually every program, driver, and the likes is in need of a reinstall from a total DLL failure.

The thing is, all of them are on the malware bytes quarenteen list.

These things are mostly files I personally installed, and I want them back.... How do I restore these files? The malwarebytes quick restore isn't working.

I am able to run in normal mode currently.

Tech support has sent me a specific set of tools for fixing a portion of the issues... Which is undoubtedly the "Trojan downloader ED" false positive error.

Currently, I am working out the issue with them...

But there is a large number of semi-perminantly lost DLL, so later I will probably need help in recovering these things once me and customer support finish working on the issues.
