mbam.exe unable to run


Eterain

Recommended Posts

Hello all! I got a virus on my computer called Antivirus Soft, and I followed the guide from bleepingcomputer.com-http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-antivirus-soft.

I managed to run rkill, but malwarebytes anti-malware could not be installed. I keep getting "unable to find mbam.exe" and when I look in the program, this file is not in there. Is there a way to fix it? I managed to download PC Doctor, but another virus has gotten into my computer and this is getting very annoying. My norton file even before all of this, kept on allowing some popups and many things (such as Antivirus Soft) were able to escape. My mouse sometimes gets times where it cannot work, and there were often flashes on my computer screen where my mouse supposedly opened or closed some programs, but I did not even move my mouse at all.

Hello Eterain, and welcome to malwarebytes.org
