Error Code (0,9)

[Jhawk]

I'm getting the following error code: MBAM_ERROR_EXPANDING_VARIABLES (0,9). Any ideas on a fix for this? Tried uninstall, reinstall, but get same message.

Thanks.

Welcome to Malwarebytes!

MBAM_ERROR_EXPANDING_VARIABLES (0,9)

MBAM_ERROR_MISSING_FILE (3,0, mbamswissarmy.sys)

The system cannot find the path specified.

Here's a fix that exile360 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.

Cheers Yardbird! It's back to working normal. I used your advice...also noticed that the IE folder in Docs/Settings was missing, so I copied it back in from a backup computer; don't know if that had anything to do with all this. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. I owe you a very cold beer! Best Regards.
