MBAM, SuperAntisSpyware, HijackThis ALL CRASHING!

[Umpalumpa]

I got Antivirus 2010 and disabled the popupus with msconfig making it stop to load.

Then I thought: alright I'm going to restart in safe mode, download MBAM and take it out.

Once I restarted in safe mode I installed MBAM but as soon as I ran it it crashed, closed itself without leaving a trace and if I try to restart it I get a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them."

So I looked into MBAM folder and most things from there are gone, like deleted and MBAM's icon is just a generic icon.

Then I tried SuperAntiSpyware...same result, crashes and deletes itself.

Then I tried Hijack This...same result.

When I'm in safe mode and run Process Explorer fom Sysinternals, I see only good processes and even if I run MBAM and it crashes, I never see any strange process popping up.

SuperAntiSpyware shuts down hitting some entry in the registry. Ran a scan excluding the registry...and it went FINE...so it's in the registry, something is shutting everything off.

Any idea?

Thanx

I tried everything above with no success. Any idea how to find out the registry issue and take it out manually?

Hi, sorry about that.

I tried everything above with no success. Any idea how to find out the registry issue and take it out manually?

Or a way to monitor the registry so when MBAM shuts off I can see what reg entry is causing this?

Thanx
