Issue enabling driver via test button

[Raid]

Hi Guys, got this from usenet; Passing the information along.

I had Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware installed on my Win2000ProSP-4 PC.

While looking at it I noticed that on the second tab (from the top left with

the program open) it had a button for 'Test Protection' or similar. It also

had two more buttons that said Register and Purchase, I believe.

I decided to click on the 'Test Protection' button and immediately the PC

rebooted. I tried several times to reboot into W2k (I have a dual boot

98se-2kPro system, but just after the MS music would start playing for the

Desktop (not showing yet), it would again reboot.

I tried several times and that was as far as it would get. I booted into 2k

SafeMode and ran Anti-Malware in a quick scan mode and it found nothing.

I then rebooted into Normal mode and it still would get almost to the

Desktop and then reboot.

I even tried to revert to the last 'successful config' or similar and it

still wouldn't work.

I finally went into SafeMode and uninstalled the Anti-Malware program and

then rebooted into Normal mode and it booted fine.

Any idea why this would happen and why Anti-Malware would have a button like

that could cause such a problem?

Thanks,

Buffalo

PS: At least there should have been a warning or something to make users

aware that 'clicking that button' may result in your PC becoming inoperable

if you haven't purchased and registered the required module.

I am very leery of trying that program again as it has had several false

alarms. I will probably just stick with SAS (paid), but someday I may try

Anti-Malware again. I am always experimenting. with something or another.

All the test protection really does is load the driver and unload it. Regardless, this should be fixed when we have a new protection module.
