Mom's Computer won't run MWB or it's chameleons


Recommended Posts

Trying to clean all the virus and malware off parent's computers.  Mom has malwarebytes on her Asus S500 Notebook PC which runs Win 8, but it won't start.  I have run all 13 chameleons and the scan always failed trying to kill malicious files.  I tried getting support through google and this seemed the best place.  I saw a similar help file where TwinHeadedEagle helped someone here, but his support posts seemed to indicate that his fixes were for a specific model so I didn't move forward with it.  If there exists a support thread that is similar enough to me I don't mind being redirected there.

 

If there's any other possible info that would be useful I will do my best to provide it.

 

TIA

James (and his mom)

Hello,
    
 
They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.
 
    
 
    
Before we start please read and note the following:
    
icon_arrow.gif Limit your internet access to posting here, some infections just wait to steal typed-in passwords.
icon_arrow.gif Please be patient. I know it is frustrating when your PC isn't working properly, but malware removal takes time.
icon_arrow.gif Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good.
icon_arrow.gif Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a Attach Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
icon_arrow.gif Stay with me to the end, the absence of symptoms doesn't mean that your machine is fully operational.
icon_arrow.gif Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
icon_arrow.gif Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay someone to repair it.
icon_arrow.gif If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
    
icon_idea.gif I can't foresee everything, so if anything unexpected happens, please stop and inform me!
icon_idea.gif There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!
