Reimage repair? Malwarebytes blocks it..

[Rotwang]

I can't connect to local shares in windows 10.  I get 

Network Protocol Missing

Which when I google for it, I get:

https://windowsreport.com/network-protocol-missing-windows-10/

I also get "Windows sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing"

Which when I google for it, I get:

https://windowsreport.com/windows-sockets-registry-entries-required-for-network-connectivity-are-missing/

When I try to install reimagerepair, Malwarebytes quarantines it.  So it's malware?  If so, what do I do instead?

Reimage is considered a PUP, not malware. You may exclude it from scans if you wish. 

I would stick with @dcollins in your other topic. He can address all of your concerns.

Ok it's an entirely different problem and question, but if you want me to go to that thread and veer, well, ok I guess.  (Wouldn't it be funny if he told me not to veer from the original question and problem and make a new thread.)

It is better for one helper to deal with all of these kinds of issues. He will probably merge topics into one. 

You also made a comment in your first post that instructs me to let STAFF handle your issues. Devin is staff.

I have no idea why he'd merge them, but here we go!
