Rename mbam-setup to something else and still can't run it

[LaurieG]

First - please review what I've already tried and please don't ask me to do it again, here's what I've already done:

Downloaded the most recent version of Malwarebytes from here:

http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti...4-10804572.html

It wouldn't install - so I renamed it to "laurie" and it installed (but took FOREVER on the last step of finishing up)

After it installed it would not open - when I double click on it to run it - it does nothing - not one single thing

I removed it - using control panel add, remove programs

I ran the clean utility - then rebooted

Installed Malewarebytes again

Rebooted

Try to run - it does nothing - not one single thing.

I can install High Jack This - but I can't run it - it does the exact same thing as malewarebytes does.

Can anyone help me?

Laurie

Hi,

First please take a look and see if any of these posts help you to get MBAM running or not.

Potential Malware infection issues to review to get MBAM running

• 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 none of above apply in your case, then try if Malwarebytes works when you rename mbam.exe. This is the file located in the Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder. So rename mbam.exe to blah.exe (or so).

Also try to run Mbam from Windows Safe mode.
