I downloaded, installed and ran the suggested program.  No crash dumps were found.  I had the program generate a system crash to confirm my computer does have the ability to produce crash dumps.  I am attaching the manually generated crash dump file. 

I may not have been clear: my PC has never crashed.  ChkDsk however has stopped running successfully.  It gets to stage 4 of 5, validating file data, and stops at 54% done and hangs as long as I leave it (left for 2 days, did not move).  I downloaded PartitionWizard and attempted to run a surface test, got the same result.  The PartitionWizard tool also hung at 54%.  I am presuming the virus/malware has written bad track information to prevent ChkDsk from being run to completion.  Not sure what my next steps are, as the virus could be on the last half of my 1TB hard drive, and no program will be able to get to it due to the bad sectors.

Suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks!!

Your indirect idea was/is correct: if it acts like a hardware failure, treat it like a hardware failure.  I ran the SMART tests and the hard drive threw an error code 303.  I have a new hard drive and am working to try to recover the old hard drive.  I will post again when I get the new hard drive up and running.

Recovered the drive using "Clonezilla", only package able to clone/image a hard drive that already had bad sectors on it (use "Expert" mode, "Rescue" option), still had to run for 3 days to successfully finish the clone.  Malwarebytes is functioning correctly at the moment.  Unless something surfaces later, I will presume the Sept 29th issue and this issue were both due to a failing hard drive.  This can be closed, again thank you very much for your guidance!
