Cannot run Malwarebytes


Recommended Posts

Ok, let me explain my problem: My computer keeps informing me that I have malware caused by UACD.sys. My webpages are constantly getting redirected, and internet explorer contiously stops working. I have AVG and it did not detect this problem, I downloaded PC tools and it too did not detect any virus. So I downloaded avenger and attempted to delete the UACD.sys file since it was not listed in my hidden files. After rebooting my computer it said the files could not be deleted because they do not exist. Next I downloaded Malwarebytes anti-malware. After downloading, I could not get the files to run: the message "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has stopped working" appears. So I tried uninstalling and installing again, downloading from Mozilla Fox rather than internet explorer, remaming the file, opening in safe mode, and opening under another user account, but none of these work to run malwarebytes. So I performed a scan with highjackthis and the logs are below. I do not know what to do from here, and would really appreciate any help. Thank you in advance,

Steve

Thanks for your reply noknojon, but when i attempt those steps I ran into 2 problems:

1. I do not know how to discable script-blockers.

2. When I attempt to scan my computer with GMR, my computer freezes, then turns black, then shuts down. I am not sure what to do now.

Hi stfox,

Script blocking is sometimes a part of antivirus software, so disabling your antivirus is usually enough.

However, if you still can't complete any of the steps in the directions here, just skip those steps altogether.

Then post a NEW topic here and describe the problems you are having.
