Unable to open Malwarebytes (Premium)


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I have a potential infection on my laptop, which I believing I have been dealing with for several weeks, at least. I noticed the expert help on these forums, so I decide to come here. I will focus on my pc's current symptoms, as I have applied fixes with varying results.

 

Symptoms:

1) Malwarebytes will not open

2) MBAM Chameleon successfully opens but encounters the following error:

 

     Updating MBAM. . .

     Response from update :

     Failed to start the update

     Killing known malicious processes, please wait. . .

 

     Mbam-killer timeout set to 1800 seconds.

     Mbam-killer is scanning - Please C to cancel. . .

     Mbam-killer scan is complete.

     Mbam-killer is exiting.

 

     The system is then able to open MBAM and complete a scan with no detections.

     Log of results here MBAM report.txt

 

3) The system is running slower than expected (i7 4700MQ CPU, 2.40GHz)

 

PC specs:

OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

Antivirus: Avast! which replaces Sophos

 

Here is a snapshot of the current activity using process hacker Process Hacker Log.txt

 

Thank you for your time.
