Full scan extremely slow and BSOD happens that restarts the computer.

[MrCharlie]

If you ran it before then we won't get one.

Please check the disk for errors:

Then:

If you haven't please reinstall Malwarebytes:

If you have the pro version of MB....make sure you have your license key

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

Vista and Windows 7 users:

1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them

2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Go to your control panels add/remove programs and uninstall MalwareBytes Anti-Malware > reboot

Download and run this cleaner:

mbam-clean.exe

Reboot <---very important

Now download and see if you can install the latest version of MB from here: (disable any malware/anti-virus programs running first)

Let me know, MrC

[TennisGuy]

Ok, I did all of this and there were no errors in the disk. The blue screen seems to still show up unfortunately with the same error at times. Sometimes, not even when I'm scanning with malwarebytes.

[MrCharlie]

Download aswMBR to your desktop.

http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.exe

Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it.

If you see this question: Would you like to download latest Avast! virus definitions?" say "Yes".

Click the "Scan" button to start scan.

On completion of the scan click "Save log", save it to your desktop and post in your next reply.

NOTE. aswMBR will create MBR.dat file on your desktop. This is a copy of your MBR. Do NOT delete it.

Ok, I ran the scan and here's the log. I did the quick scan, so I hope that is the scan that you wanted me to do?

aswMBR 7.16.txt

[MrCharlie]

Yes that's OK.

How is it in safe mode if you run a full scan??

Does it blue screen??

MrC

[TennisGuy]

No, I ran the full scan in safe mode and there was no blue screen.

[MrCharlie]

So it has to be one of your programs that runs in normal mode and not in safe mode.

I see you switched to AVAST for an anti-virus, you might want to disable AVAST and see if makes a difference.

You should also set exclusions for MB:

Alright, I will do all that you recommended. Thank you for all your help, time, and patience... I really appreciate your assistance that you provided!

[MrCharlie]

OK.....

A little clean up to do....

Please Uninstall ComboFix: (if you used it)

Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the "run box"

Copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /uninstall

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /

Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

(If that doesn't work.....you can simply rename ComboFix.exe to Uninstall.exe and double click it to complete the uninstall or download and run the uninstaller)

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

If you used DeFogger to disable your CD Emulation drivers, please re-enable them.

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

Please download OTC to your desktop.

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTC.exe

Double-click OTC to run it. (Vista and up users, please right click on OTC and select "Run as an Administrator")

Click on the CleanUp! button and follow the prompts.

(If you get a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the Internet, please allow the connection.)

You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process, choose Yes.

After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.

Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTC. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.

Any other programs or logs you can manually delete.

IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST, MBAR, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.

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

Any questions...please post back.
