ERROR MSGS

[exile360]

Well done, marvelous detective work Firefox . I recall a user mentioning the Startup folder once before who was having this issue. I'll look into this a bit further to see if I can create an automated fix for it. I'll also create the same circumstances on my test box to see if I can replicate and fix the problem.

I checked it out and I was able to narrow it down to the Startup folder for all users on the system, deleting the Startup folder for the current user account does not appear to cause the error.

Here's a fix I made, it is universal for XP, Vista and Windows 7 and should fix the problem:

Note: If using Windows Vista or Windows 7 you MUST right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator".

• Please copy and paste the following text in the Code box exactly as written into notepad (not wordpad or any other text editor):
  

  @color 48
  @echo off
  if exist "%allusersprofile%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" md "%allusersprofile%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
  if not exist "%allusersprofile%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" md "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
  if exist "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" md "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
  if not exist "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" md "%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
  del /f /q %0

  
  

• Once you've done that click on File and select Save As...
  
• In the Save dialogue box click on the drop down menu next to Save as type and select All Files
  
• Name the file Fix.bat (the .bat extension is very important)
  
• Save the file to your desktop and double click it to run it if using Windows XP. If using Windows Vista or Windows 7 you MUST right-click on the file and select Run as administrator otherwise it will not work.
  
• Once that's complete try running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware again to see if it now works without error or not.

I am glad it worked for you, if you have any other issues or questions don't hesitate to ask.

[exile360]

I'm glad it worked . Thanks Firefox for finally figuring this issue out. I'm anxious to see if this corrects this particular issue 100% of the time or not (fingers crossed ).

Your quite Welcome..... yes indeed it would be nice if this solves it for sure, strange that it would require that folder to be present?

[exile360]

That folder is a primary loading point for startup processes, and one of the locations checked by MBAM. I found that on my test box XP wouldn't let me even delete the folder although it was empty, Vista and 7 don't have an issue with it, but it should be left in place. Removing that is the equivelent of permanently deleting one of the RUN keys in the registry.

[Firefox]

Ah Ha, thanks for the info.

[Yehia]

uptill now its working just perfect .. thanks to you guys

btw Exile my application is refused on malware removal because there is no vacant place..

recommend me other one i know they all are the same but tell me number two please

[exile360]

Yes, the spots do fill up fast. I've also heard good things about Geeks to Go and Bleeping Computer, but as I said, the only school I have any personal experience with is Malware Removal. I'd say it would be best to apply at one of those two (take your pick) then wait to see if they have a spot, if they don't, then apply at the other and if that school has no spots, then just start going down the list of schools, I'm sure you'll find one that has an opening .
