malwarebytes error at startup

[genius12]

Hello! My problem is that when I first started malwarebytes 1.38 it displayed the error: error loading database. Line: #80816. (0). The second I started it , it started with no problems. Then I registered myself and entered the license key. Then I updated. When it downloaded the updated, it was n't able to install it. It displayed the error: error loading database. Line: #80816. (0). And it closed. After I've been trying to start it, but it displays the error every time I try to start it. But the weird thing is that everytime I start it, the error displays, though there is a different number at the end everytime. Like let's say I try to start it once and the error displays like this: error loading database. Line: #80816. (0). So the last number would different everytime I try to start malwarebytes but the rest of the message stays same. So the next I started malwarebytes the messgae was:error loading database. Line: #74186. (0). And the third time it was: error loading database. Line: #70092. (0). So you see error is always the same butt that last number is different everytime the error displays when I try to open malwarebytes. I've already tried the method of uninstalling then restarting, then using mbam-clean.exe application then restarting again and reinstalling malwarebytes. But it doesn't work. I have task scheduler enabled and the depended services enabled as well.

Please try the following

1. Try a manual offline db update: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/database/mbam-rules.exe

2. Something could be blocking and preventing MBAM from running in that case check here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17607

Nope, still nothing changed. I'm still getting the same error. Any other ideas?

Those solutions don't work. But I did have that CLB rootkit infection Win-Alureon. But I completely removed it from my computer and rootrepeal doesn't find it anyways so that confirms it. And this was about 4 months ago.

Then please follow the advice in the above post and create a NEW post in the HJT forum and someone will assist you further.

Thank you.
