MBAM.exe quits immediately

[timmy]

Hi

MBAM is installed on my laptop with Windows XP. When I run MBAM, it closes within a few seconds even before quick scan starts. Here are some of the things that I tried as per the pinned topics on this forum :

1) Renamed mbam.exe as winlogon.exe. It still exits within a few seconds after starting winlogon.exe.

2) Installed "Avira AntiVir Personal"- It doesn't work on my laptop.

3) Tried the following things as per the pinned topic - "I'm infected - What do I do now?, Please follow these instructions to clean your system"

- Disabled CD-ROM Emulation Software

- Tried to run DDS after disabling script blockers - dds.scr just starts & exits without creating any .txt files

- Tried to run GMER - It scans for a while & exits automatically. So, I couldn't save any logs. After a while, system crashes (only after running GMER).

4) Tried the following things as per the pinned topic - "Procedures to help resolve issues preventing MBAM from running"

MBAM won't run(Fix), SystemSecurity

MB won't run(Fix) - Total-Security (FakeAlert)

MBAM wont run (Fix) - av360 (Fakealert)

MBAM wont install or will not run. - CLB Rootkit driver=TDSS/Seneka/GAOPDX/UAC

I could not load other antivirus tools also. I keep getting disconnected from the internet though the DSL router is stable. System needs a reboot to reconnect to the net. System is pretty stable otherwise.

I can't upload logs from DDS or GMER since they did not run successfully on my system. Can you please help ?

Thanks.
