Hello @mjt57

Your computer is having some type of networking issue. Please get me the following logs and I'll review further and try to assist you.

 

Please do the following so that we can get started and see what's going on.

Let's try the following please. @mjt57

You're on Windows 10 Pro which has Windows Defender antivirus built-in. That antivirus is on par with AVG AntiVirus FREE - my suggestion would be to consider using Windows Defender. AVG was sold years ago the new owners just kept the name.

Please go to Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features and uninstall the following

Bonjour
Java 8 Update 111

 

 

If you're going to use Dropbox please download and reinstall the latest version. The current version has an old outdated certificate

Then try the following change to your DNS and let's see if that's enough to get the program working or not. There are still other issues on the system but we may not need to clean that up to get it working

Please consider changing your default DNS Server settings. Please choose one provider only

DNS is what lets users connect to websites using domain names instead of IP addresses

  • Google Public DNS: IPv4   8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4   IPv6   2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844
  • Cloudflare: IPv4   1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1   IPv6   2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001
  • OpenDNS: IPv4   208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220  IPv6  2620:119:35::35 and 2620:119:53::53
  • DNSWATCH: IPv4   84.200.69.80 and 84.200.70.40   IPv6  2001:1608:10:25::1c04:b12f and 2001:1608:10:25::9249:d69b

Then restart the computer and run the following Clean Removal procedure.

 

Can you please do the following?

  • Download the Malwarebytes Support Tool
  • In your Downloads folder, open the mb-support-x.x.x.xxx.exe file
  • In the User Account Control pop-up window, click Yes to continue the installation
  • Run the MBST Support Tool
  • In the left navigation pane of the Malwarebytes Support Tool, click Advanced
  • In the Advanced Options, click the CLEAN button and follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall Malwarebytes
  • NOTE: Please have patience as it can take a while to remove and reinstall. The computer will restart to complete

After the restart please do the following

  • Run the MBST Support Tool
  • In the left navigation pane of the Malwarebytes Support Tool, click Advanced
  • In the Advanced Options, click Gather Logs. A status diagram displays the tool is Getting logs from your machine
  • A zip file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your desktop, please upload that file on your next reply

Thank you
