ladiedi Posted March 29, 2022 ID:1508977 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hello friends! Last week I got many random (scam) pop ups that my computer had a virus that needed to be stopped, in a panic I clicked the pop ups but when sent to a new page I realized that the constant pop ups were scams ( I looked them up to confirm and they were scams) but as I was still in a panic I decided to look up cleaners to scan my computer just in case loading to a new page managed to get one as that's my luck. I signed up as a guest, did the 14 day free trial, scanned my computer everything turned out fine. When I went to uninstall the app I noticed there's no way to uninstall so I went to my files to uninstall that way and got a pop up saying that I "need permission from admin to remove this app" I have ALWAYS been an admin until downloading this app and I just want to uninstall but nothing is working. I looked it up was told to download the tool go into advance and clean (remove the darn app altogether) and I kept getting the "no ticket" or "ticket" pop up. I tried getting a ticket and its been 3 days and I still have no response. I tried to contact Microsoft to see if they could figure out how to make me an admin again and surprisingly they couldn't help me either. I know you might not be able to help with any of the admin bull but, I have no where else to turn to please mates help me somehow because I need to be an admin for basically everything somehow and Malwarebytes has basically took over my computer. I appreciate in advanced thank you for reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the following with the Malwarebytes Support Tool Please close all browsers and programs before running the tool. Right click and quit MB from the system tray also. Once done it will attempt to reinstall both Malwarebytes and Privacy VPN. Click No And close the tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiedi Posted March 29, 2022 Author ID:1508988 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hello friend! In my original post I stated I have done this and all I have gotten was the constant pop up of “I don’t have a ticket” and “I do have a ticket” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiedi Posted March 29, 2022 Author ID:1508989 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If I don’t make sense when I go to the system tray and hit quit on MB nothing happens. When I go to “advance” then “clean” nothing happens I keep getting pop ups of the start screen of the MB Tool. I said that in my original post basically friend, tool isn’t working either.

Click the word Advanced on the left side directly like my screenshot. Edited March 29, 2022 by Porthos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiedi Posted March 29, 2022 Author ID:1508991 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I am so sorry if I seem rude but I said I already did that. Every single time I clicked “clean” I kept getting a pop-up after pop-up of the first screen in different windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
