Malwarebytes freezing computer


Recommended Posts

I have a problem with the free version of Malwarebytes. Every time I run a scan, it freezes the whole computer halfway through.

I've run a full Memtest scan on my RAM memory and it's fine. I've done a Chkdisk scan of my harddrive and there are no bad sectors.

I have Spybot and AVG Free antivirus installed, but I always disable Teatimer first by using Task Manager to close it.

Is malware causing the freezing, or is it a conflict with one of the programs I mentioned?

I've had other scanning problems. When using HitmanPro, my computer crashed with a Blue Screen of Death and the message said BAD_POOL_CALLER. Another scan later and another BSOD, and it was fastfat.sys

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

Next, Please run the following scanner and send back the logs.

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

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.

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

  • Save both reports to your desktop

    You can ignore the note about zipping the Attach.txt file in most cases.

Don't see an obvious infection but that doesn't mean there isn't one only that this scan does not make it obvious.  As you've had issues with other programs and continue to have issues I'd suggest having one of the Experts assist you for free in checking for an infection.

 

I would suggest following the advice from the topic here Available Assistance for Possibly Infected Computers and having one of the Experts assist you with looking into your issue.


Thanks
