Help cant run scans wont open

[chief20]

I am using vista 64. My computer recently slowed significantly and I cannot run Malwarebytes. When I attempt to open it says:

Malwarebytes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I performed a system restore. Did not fix problem.

I uninstalled and reinstalled. I am still getting the same error.

***

As I am unable to open Malwarebytes I could not run a scan. The last time I ran a scan there were no infections. This was a few days before computer slowed.

I ran Defogger but it did not ask me to restart as the instructions said it would.

I ran DDS.

I then ran GMER scanner and found no problems.

Please help!

Thanks,

Please do the following to see if it resolves the issue: Post back and let us know please

• 
  
• Download and run mbam-clean.exe from here
  
• It will ask to restart your computer, please allow it to do so very important
  
• After the computer restarts, temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and install the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here
  
  • 
    
  • Note: You will need to reactivate the program using the license you were sent via email if using the Pro version
    
  • Launch the program and set the Protection and Registration. Then go to the UPDATE tab if not done during installation and check for updates.
    Restart the computer again and verify that MBAM is in the task tray if using the Pro version. Now setup any file exclusions as may be required in your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security/Firewall applications and restart your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security applications. You may use the guides posted in the FAQ's here or ask and we'll explain how to do it.

I tried what you suggested. I tried to

Please don't attach the scan results, use Copy/Paste

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.

Vista and Windows 7 users:

1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them

2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

Note: Close all browsers before running ATF Cleaner: IE, FireFox, etc.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
