So I stupidly downloaded and opened a zip file without properly scanning it and, like many, I've gotten the "the requested resource is in use" when trying run Malwarebytes as well as the anti-rootkit beta. Pretty much every anti-malware program gets that message except for Roguekiller. I've located a couple of the problems in the registry, but Roguekiller cannot delete them and will get an error for access denied. I have been at this for a few hours and am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
