Raz0r Posted March 12, 2018 ID:1223418 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Greetings! Malware-bytes Support Staff! So, I am having issues trying to start the (Malware-bytes Service). Yes, it is set to automatic. I believe I accidentally deleted some registry files with Advanced System Care Clean up service. I used "MB-Removal Unity" However, when I re-downloaded Malware-bytes it still did the same. I tried using Orbits Advanced uninstaller still got the error after system restart and re-installed Malware-bytes. Anyways, I made this a bit easier for you Staff as I already used MB-Check and attached files below. Thanks for reading and your support! ~Raz0r Edit Picture Of Error: http://prntscr.com/ipwens mb-check-results.zip Edited March 12, 2018 by Raz0r Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raz0r Posted March 12, 2018 Author ID:1223454 Share Posted March 12, 2018 anyone? :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted March 12, 2018 ID:1223510 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello and Welcome... First you need to remove the compatibility settings from both C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MBAMService.exe and C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbam.exe Having those settings there will cause issues with Malwarebytes. I see you are running MB in compatibility mode. Please remove those settings. Then restart your computer. Go to the folder C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\ Find the file mbam.exe and right click on it and choose Properties In the window that pops up click on Compatibility Tab Remove any changes there that don't match my picture below and click OK Now repeat the steps for file MBAMService.exe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted March 12, 2018 Author ID:1223624 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Still having the same issue, But I did as you said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted March 12, 2018 ID:1223638 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It appears you don't have the most recent version of Malwarebytes installed. Please open Malwarebytes and go to Settings>Application and click on Install Application Updates then allow it to download and install the latest version, restarting your system if prompted to do so in order to complete the installation. Once that's done, let us know if the issue is now corrected or not or if there were any problems with upgrading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted March 13, 2018 Author ID:1223724 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Okie well I updated it and am still having issues, When I bought malwarebyes permeium it was working just fine for about a week, now its doing this.... Interesting. I might Refresh my PC that will def fix the issue. Thats a option I'd like to save for last as most software I have is HWID protected meaning if I refresh I got a massive issue trying to get all my software to get reset to the new HWID. If I cant fix it period Ill refund my subscription so far I have 3 days that I haven't had this Protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted March 13, 2018 ID:1223739 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Totally understandable, and I agree, reinstalling Windows would be rather extreme and a pretty significant hassle to go through just to get a single application working so we'll definitely do all we can to avoid that. If you wouldn't mind, now that you've upgraded to the latest version of Malwarebytes, would you please create and attach a fresh set of diagnostic logs as you did before? It will help us to make certain that everything went OK with the upgrade to the latest release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted March 13, 2018 Author ID:1223954 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Okie, 1.) I have had this issue the day I got this on the same day already upgraded. 2.) I cannot even open malware bytes so how can I update if I cant even open Malware Bytes. My Correction.) I assume I have Malware Bytes latest version, Again I cannot even get to the very basic of even getting tmalware bytes open. Lastly, what your return policy on Malware Bytes? Sad to have to refund thought malware bytes was as good as you guys were advertising. ~Raz0r Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted March 13, 2018 ID:1223961 Share Posted March 13, 2018 @Raz0r can you get us a fresh set of logs so the team can try and fix your issue? As for the return policy...
