    2. Double-click on mbam-check.exe to run it, it should then open a log file

    4. Attach this log file to your post by clicking on the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." or simply drag the file to the attachment area

Please be patient and give helpers or Staff time to read and reply to your logs. If no one has replied within 24 hours to your topic after you've posted, then please send a private message to a Staff Moderator or Administrator for review and follow-up.
