Cannot install mbam.exe


Recommended Posts

Hi SteelBarracuda,

kadah has graciously agreed to allow me to work with you directly. Hope you don't mind :)

You may want to write down or print the following for reference.

Please delete the copy of HelpAsst_Mebroot_fix.exe you currently have and replace it with this one

Close out all other open programs and windows.

Double click the file to run it and follow any prompts.

When the tool completes, click Start>Run and type the following bolded command, then hit Enter.

mbr -f

Now, please do the Start>Run>mbr -f command a second time.

Now shut down the computer (do not restart, but shut it down), wait a few minutes then start it back up.

Give it about 5 minutes, then click Start>Run and type the following bolded command, then hit Enter.

helpasst -mbrt

Make sure you leave a space between helpasst and -mbrt !

When it completes, a log will open.

Please post the contents of that log.

Looks good. I can only assume you are no longer getting the alert since the log doesn't show any HelpAssistant folders present. The mbr is OK as well.

I've just a couple of things to add then kadah will be back with you.

First, please click Start>Run and type (or copy and paste) the following bolded command then hit Enter.

helpasst -cleanup

You can then delete HelpAsst_Mebroot_fix.exe when it finishes.

Next, click Start>Run and type cmd then hit Enter to open a command window.

Highlight and copy the contents of the code box below, then right click in the command window and select Paste.

reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List >>%temp%\temp.txt
start notepad %temp%\temp.txt
exit
cls

The pasted commands will execute quickly, a log will open in notepad and the command window will close on it's own.

Please post the contents of that log here.

Note - if instead of a log opening you're asked if you want to create temp.txt, click no and inform us.

Finally, did you knowingly configure your computer to use a proxy?

IE - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings: "ProxyServer" = http=127.0.0.1:5555

And no, I did not knowingly configure my computer to use a proxy... I don't even know what that means.

    :OTL

===============Update Java===============

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to exploit and infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update:

  • Download the latest version of Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) and save it to your desktop.
  • Scroll down to where it says "Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 18...allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Select your Platform: "Windows".
  • Select your Language: "Multi-language".
  • Read the License Agreement, and then check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • Click Continue and the page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save the file to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u18-windows-i586.exe to install the newest version.

======================Clear out infected System Restore points======================

Then we need to reset your System Restore points.

The link below shows how to do this.

If you are using Vista then see this link: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/...143.html#manual

Delete\uninstall anything else that we have used that is leftover.

=====================================

After that your all set.

The following are some articles and a Windows Update link that I like to suggest to people to prevent malware and general PC maintenance.

Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

Prevention article To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections please read the Prevention artice by Miekiemoes.
