Malwarebytes issue


Recommended Posts

I just installed the update to Malwarebyes 2.0 every time I run a scan it comes back clean but I get some kind of error. It says "Scripted diagnostics native host has stopped working."

This seems to only pop up when I run Malwarebytes. I got it first after I ran a scan after the update. I then closed it opened it ran another longer scan and it popped up during the scan.

If hit the close program button in the error box nothing seems to happen.

Hi,
 
Until staff arrives -- that seems to be a non-specific Windows error and I am personally unfamiliar with it.
 
The staff will probably need a bit more information to help sort this out.
Please run these scanners and post back the logs attached to your next reply.
 
If you'd like to try a clean reinstall of MBAM first, here are the steps: MBAM Clean Removal Process
Note: if you have MBAM Self-Protection enabled, please disable it before running the cleanup utility.

 

Thanks,

STEP 1
Please run the DDS scanner and send back both logs as attachments to your next reply.

If you are running Windows 8.1, please skip this step, as DDS will not run on that version of Windows.

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 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:
    • DDS.txt
    • Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop
  • Please include both of the following logs in your next reply as an attachment: DDS.txt and Attach.txt
  • You can ignore the note about zipping the Attach.txt file and just post it or attach it.

STEP 2
Please run mbam-check and send back the log as an attachment to your next reply.

  • 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 do not copy and paste the entire contents of the log into your next post; instead please attach to your next reply the CheckResults.txt log file which should now be located on your desktop.

STEP 3
Please run the FRST tool and send back both logs as attachments to your next reply.

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system, download both of them and try to run them. The one that runs will be the right version.

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your next reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your next reply.
