ok3k Posted July 31, 2020 ID:1398152 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm pretty sure that there are viruses on my computer, but Mbam won't open for me to clean them. I'm assuming its the trojans stopping the program from opening. What do I do now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted July 31, 2020 ID:1398154 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Greetings, Are you have trouble with anything else, or is it just Malwarebytes that isn't working properly? The reason I ask is because some recent versions of Malwarebytes suffered from a bug that would cause the program to be unable to open its UI under certain conditions. If this is what caused the problem on your system, the following instructions should correct it: Download and run the Malwarebytes Support ToolAccept the EULA and click Advanced tab on the left (not Start Repair)Click the Clean button, and allow it to restart your system and then reinstall Malwarebytes, either by allowing the tool to do so when it offers to on restart, or by downloading and installing the latest version from here If that doesn't fix the issue, or if there are problems with more than just Malwarebytes on your system then please follow the instructions in this topic then create a new topic in our malware removal area by clicking here and a malware removal specialist will guide you in checking and cleaning your system of any threats.

That's nice, but does it prevent the problem from returning every few days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as long as you get the latest version installed. This issue only impacts previous releases and updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted August 5, 2020 ID:1399122 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If you encountered the issue with the latest release, then the cause of the issue must be different, as the cause was originally code within the installer which was fixed, so if you still experience it, please create a new topic and provide diagnostic logs for assistance, or you may contact Malwarebytes Support directly if you wish to work with them privately via email by filling out the form on this page.

exile360 Posted August 5, 2020 ID:1399136 Share Posted August 5, 2020 By the way, I forgot to ask; when you attempted to fix the issue, did you perform a clean install using the Malwarebytes Support Tool? If not, that might be the reason that installing the latest version failed to fix it. If you haven't tried that yet, I'd suggest doing so and hopefully it will help: Download and run the Malwarebytes Support ToolAccept the EULA and click Advanced tab on the left (not Start Repair)Click the Clean button, and allow it to restart your system and then reinstall Malwarebytes, either by allowing the tool to do so when it offers to on restart, or by downloading and installing the latest version from here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
