ibowman Posted April 10, 2017 ID:1116259 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hello All! Let me start by saying I love MBAM and have good faith in most of their tools. Lately I've been extra paranoid using Windows 10 for several reasons which I wish to express to the community for some general input as to what I am experiencing. I've reinstalled MBAM and other solutions which have found and removed trojan(s) so I fear these may be symptoms of rootkit. 1) Every few weeks MBAM resets to Unregistered Trial mode from Activated (Premium) 2) Sometimes MBAM Crashes when computer resumes from sleep 3) MBAM Scan will complete no matter what percentage even if only 90 items have been scanned 4) Desktop Windows are constantly resized and in different locations (this I may attribute to dual 4K monitors) 5) Taskmanager High CPU when opening (80% down to 4%) - Major performance boost from leaving open. 7) PC will sometimes not wake from slleep and must be power cycled.

sman Posted April 10, 2017 ID:1116267 Share Posted April 10, 2017 First of all, system compatibility to WIN 10 to be ensured. No use hanging around with an incompatible OS.. check with your manufacturer first.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted April 10, 2017 ID:1116319 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) @ibowman based on your symptoms, I'd say you're using an older version of MB3. Can you run mb-check from the following link and upload the mb-checkResult.txt file please? https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb3_check Edited April 10, 2017 by dcollins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibowman Posted April 10, 2017 Author ID:1116329 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Attached results file. Note that I use a standard user account for daily activity, but login to "Super Bowman" (Administrator) account for maintenance. Thanks!

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 15, 2017 Root Admin ID:1117480 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Please let us know what issues you have now. If you've formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows then pretty hard to have the same issues again, but if so please give details. Thank you Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sman Posted April 15, 2017 ID:1117486 Share Posted April 15, 2017 He is yet to confirm system compatibility to OS, which would clear issues with OS, as MBAM is a trialware of latest 3.0.. Maybe, he wants to have MB views on the check result, but Better OS compatibility is checked and confirmed.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sman Posted April 15, 2017 ID:1117487 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I missed that he is a premium user .. all the more reason with a rootkit issue, to ckeck OS compatibility and OS genuinity.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sman Posted April 15, 2017 ID:1117497 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Rootkit infection in Win 10 is strange, when Defender is sufficient to protect OS with uefi secure boot to go with.. It would also be better to check with MS on the Protection breach .. Would better read https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/dn168167.aspx even though this link is on win 8..
