MBAM opens then closes itself before a scan can start

[ProfEngr]

The last time I could get the program to run it "cleaned" a fake AV app. Now the best it can muster is maybe opening long enough to click the Scan or Update buttons before it closes. GMER brought up an RPC service error during its scan and the system tried to force a reboot. I wasn't monitoring the system the first time, but used "shutdown -a" to abort the reboot the 2nd time. GMER crashed bad enough I had to reset the machine so I don't have a GMER log. AVG, Housecall, and Spybot come up blank for anything unwanted. I've even tried running MBAM from safe mode and by renaming the .exe.

I followed the instructions here and attached the files.

Hello ProfEngr! Welcome to Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forums!

• If you don't know or can't understand something please ask.
  
• Do not install or uninstall any software or hardware, while work on.
  
• Keep me informed about any changes.
  

Step 1

That appears to have fixed it. mbam.exe is performing a full scan now. I was even able to activate the background protection. Thanks for your help. Looks like I needed to rename it to that specific name to work.

How are things now?

[ProfEngr]

How are things now?

So far so good. It's such a waste of talent that idiots write malicious code into web ads or any type of virus/malware/etc.

[Maniac]

Nice!
