Malwarebytes Support Tool - Advanced Options

This feature is designed for the following reasons:

    • Clean: Performs an automated uninstallation of all Malwarebytes products installed to the computer and prompts to install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows afterwards. The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
    •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
    • Anonymously help the community by providing usage and threat statistics: Unchecking this option will prevent Malwarebytes Support Tool from sending anonymous telemetry data on usage of the program.

even after the scanning online and after removing the two files from my laptop , the issue is still as it is ,

 

1- I can't access my account on the web (By receiving the code on my email, i enter it and tells me wrong code :/) 

2- From the MBA App i click on Activate the license , i enter my email and the passwd and it tells Unable to contact license server :/

 

I don't know whats wrong with my laptop , it's New fresh laptop , why i need to change the DNS , why i need to scan online for infected files since it's 2 days Age.

I don't know, if you can remote my laptop by Team Viewer and solve it , i will be appreciated.

It's not a matter of the laptop being new or old. It's possible to infect a computer while in the process of installing Windows.

You had some files that might not be the best, but not a reason to not be able to connect.

Please try the following

1. Make sure your TIME on the computer is valid and synced. If the time is off then the Two Factor Authentication codes will not match.

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/pc-times-match-atomic-clock-sync-windows/

2. Changing the DNS allows your system to be able reach other locations more robustly than you ISP in many cases.

Please try to change it as requested. It's rather easy to do.

3. If you're connected via  VPN disconnect from the VPN while you're trying to activate.

 

Please give that a try @Moewsaleh

Exactly my point. It's not our software. It is your system that cannot reach our license server.

Pick just one of these 4 providers. And be aware that you need to modify 1 time for IPv4 & a 2nd pass for IPv6

I did change the DNS for IPV4 only then i type the command as shown above.

 

Can you please tell me and explain to me what do you mean by And be aware that you need to modify 1 time for IPv4 & a 2nd pass for IPv6

i only changed the ipv4 

should i change the ipv6 as well as i changed ipv4 !! because in the video youtube you provided he only changed the ipv4 !

 

EVEN if i changed the both ipv4 and ipv6 , still i can't access my account on the web , after changing the DNS , i enter my email and passwd , then asking me for the verification code sent to my email , i paste the correct code and it tells me "Wrong Verification Code" 

 

So what now

Yes, you should change the setting for the IPv6 as well

You should be able to input your actual license key. Try that instead of logging in, but you need to restart your computer after changing your DNS providers.

Then see if  you can input the license key to activate
