Malwarebytes not running - Hijack Log

[smithtc]

I have a virus apparently. Have tried several anitvirus software that hasn't fixed it.

I did have Malwarebytes already from a previous virus, but it wouldn't run. After a lengthy process of trying to uninstall and reinstall it... it still won't run or scan. Virus seems to run in the background, take my internet page to a different page sometimes, etc. etc. A real nuisance since I use my comouter to daytrade stocks. Anyway, here is the hijackthis log. Please tell me what to do...

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.

[smithtc]

Fixed. Thank you.

Changed the name from mbam to blah...able to run malwarebytes program and it fixed all my problems.

Great!!

[miekiemoes]

Good to hear and glad mbam could help
