Malwarebytes freezes during scan


Recommended Posts

Another Windows Antivirus Pro victim here. I have managed to get executables running again, and downloads are ok, but neither Malwarebytes nor antivirus programs can complete a scan. I have removed some issues by stopping the scan after it detects some items, but it is clear my system still has issues. Thanks in advance for any help/advice/guidance anyone can provide. I can't get a log file from Malwarebytes since when it freezes I can only do a reboot to close it (even killing the process doesn't close it). The Hijackthis log follows:

Problem solved! Followed your directions, which didn't do the trick. However, I took your advice and reviewed #5 in the FAQ. I didn't follow those guidelines the first time because they referred to different malware than mine and didn't seem to apply. Turns out I did have the infected rootkit, and getting rid of that made the difference. Running smoothly now--thanks a ton!
