Error Code 732 (0, 0) when trying to update


Recommended Posts

I am trying to run malwarebytes but I get error 732 (0, 0) when I attempt to update it. How can I update it? I was able to update and run Superantispyware which showed tracking cookies only.

The reason I want to run a scan is because I noticed Avast says system is unsecure and the service is turned off. I tried to run a boot scan and full scan with avast but it couldn't. I went to services.msc and started avast and Windows said it started and stopped.

This morning Seamonkey wouldn't open, or task manager - then I lost all icons on the desktop and used the tower button to shut down the computer. When it was turned on later, everything seemed okay until I noticed Avast not running this evening.

This is an XPHomesp3 computer, fully updated with ZoneAlarm, Defensewall HIPS, script sentry, spywareblaster, MSVP Hosts file and spywareguard.

I made an image of the computer last month and allowed COMSurrogate to access the internet - this occurred during the image so I thought it had to do with the program. The registry does NOT have the run registry entries for that malware.

I would appreciate any help.

Sincerely, Libra

Hi Libra -

Just a quick add to the advice from AdvancedSetup -

Try to update with your Zone Alarm disabled first - This can block your connection to Malwarebytes updates -

If either of those programs has any sort of web filter, like Zone Alarm , ensure that you add the following as a trusted site:

data-cdn.mbamupdates.com

Thank You -

EDIT -

Any other problems should really go to the experts to diagnose as stated by AdvancedSetup -

Also try Internet Explorer as well as Sea Monkey browser -

Thank you for your reply. So far, I disabled ZoneAlarm and tried to update. I still got the 732 (0, 0) error, so I enabled ZA again. I then used add/remove and removed malwarebytes. I then used the mbam_cleanup and rebooted the computer. I have to go out now, so I didn't try to install the latest version yet.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I used the eset online scanner (didn't scan for archives) and it only found Unlocker 1.8.7 which it called a varient of Win32/Adware.ADON application. I think that was a f/p but I had it delete it.

(The Avast forum is recommending I remove ZA. Avast still isn't running. I guess I should continue with Malwarebytes and then attempt to reinstall Avast. I'm quite confused.

I will try to install malwarebytes when I get back. Thank you.

Sincerely, Libra

Hi Advanced Setup,

I reinstalled Malwarebytes and it updated to database 4337! I ran a Quick Scan and it found three items: Broken.Open (Registry Data), Trojan.Dropper (file) and Hijack.HomeP (Registry data I think). I had it remove them and it required a reboot.

When I rebooted I got an error message from Script Sentry: Error 70, Permission Denied in INI.Access.Write_INI. Is this a problem?

Previously I tried to repair Avast and it didn't fix it. I guess I should remove and reinstall Avast.

I would appreciate your advice on this and the Script Sentry error message. Am I suppose to be posting at that other link?

I just noticed that the first item (Broken.Open) seems to relate to Script Sentry. I'll will post the contents of the log.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Libra

I wonder if the Registry fix regarding the Home Page Hijack could have anything to do with SpywareGuard?

Thank you for helping me get a new malwarebytes that updated and ran.

Hi Libra -

You seem to have most of the problems sorted now - If you wish to change from Avast , then I have found Microsoft Security Essentials Free (MSE) to be a very good option these days - There is a 'live link' to click on in my signature to the program if you ever wish to use it -

Avast and Avira are 2 very good programs but I found MSE more simple and 'lighter' at running -

Some of the programs do not mix with some Firewalls (as you found) but just use what You feel happy with -

Please continue the post, or follow the link to the experts if you wish further help -

Thank You - :lol:

Hi noknojon,

Thank you for your reply. Avast still isn't working and I haven't tried to remove it yet. I'll let you know how I make out. It seems that a lua accessed something, because I found an avast report for the web shield which showed two infections. It's set to "abort connection" so I don't understand this.

Sincerely, Libra

Hi again -

If you do decide to remove your A/Virus program and replace it , then I always check This Page to make sure it is fully removed -

It is RA Program Uninstallers - They have good details to make sure it is removed fully -

Also , don't forget to update Malwarebytes and continue to rescan for the next few days -

Thank You -

EDIT - Note that current update as of now is Version 4339 -
