Unable to run Malwarebytes

[internetmkt]

Hi,

I have justpaid for Malwarebytes but i am unable to run it.

I had the free verison before but after I got this last infction i was unable to run MBAM.

I then downloaded the free version again to a new destination with a new name and still cannot run \it.

i have not been able to register my new KEy even using the run mbam.exe / register XXXXXXXXXX

I also tried to start a scan with command line unsuccessfully.

I would appreciate any help.

Thx

Please see if one of these options allows you to get MBAM running or not.

Potential Malware infection issues to review

• MB won't run(Fix) - Total-Security (FakeAlert)
• MBAM wont run (Fix) - av360 (Fakealert)
  
• MBAM wont install or will not run. - CLB Rootkit driver=TDSS/Seneka/GAOPDX/UAC
  

If it does then please run the following.

Just checking back to see how things are going. Were you able to get MBAM working using the information from that other post?

Hello,

It appears as though my PC is back to life!!!!

The 3rd link was the one that made it work. There is a little issue left over now. The background is White and says" Click here to restore background" or something like that. I am using a different computer now. But tonight I will doublecheck and reply with the log and the exact backgroung that I am getting.

Thanks a million!

Please post the MBAM log and this log and we'll take a further look at it for you.

Download

DDS

and save it to your desktop

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

to run the tool.

When done, the

DDS.txt

will open.

Click Yes at the next prompt for Optional Scan.

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

1. DDS.txt
2. Attach.txt
   
   

• Save both reports to your desktop
