Run-time error (0,5)

[louisvillelaptop]

Hello,

I am having an issue with automatic updating. When Malwarebytes automatically updates, once the pc is rebooted, malwarebytes will not be running in active memory and when I try to open it, it gives a Run-time error 0,5. I have had no luck in finding anything on this error specifically. I have uninstalled and ran mbam-cleaner multiple times. Manual updates seem to work fine, but if I tell it to check for updates every hour, once it does update and the computer is rebooted, it gives this run-time error. I am running Windows MCE 2002 SP3. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi -

Please try this fix first -

Show Hidden Files and Folders in Windows XP:

• Click Start and select My Computer
  
• Click the Tools item from the menu at the top of the window (if you don't see Tools press the Alt key on your keyboard and it will appear)
  
• Select Folder Options
  
• Click the View tab and make sure Show hidden files and folders is selected under Hidden files and folders
  
• Next, uncheck the box next to Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
  
• Then, uncheck the box next to Hide extensions for known file types
  
• Click Apply then click OK
  

Then go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and delete rules.ref.

Once you've done that, start MBAM and when it shows the error and asks to update, let it do so and see if that corrects it.
