Freeze during full scan! Need help pls :(

[lavinia]

Hi dear malwarebytes support team,

I have downloaded and installed this program without issues.

After running it for quick scan there were no problems. And nothing was found..

Then I tried the full scan and during checking for a games files (League of Legends)the program freezes without giving information.

Only the program freezes. Not my computer. I can work on. But its annoying why cant i run it without problems.

Once it worked very well and I tried to uninstall and install again. It didnt help. I tried even to run it as adminstrator. Didnt help...

PS = I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 and I cant find the settings for writing the excluding files of malwarebytes.

I hope someone can help me

Thanks so long...

Hi, Lavinia:

Here are some general instructions for setting the reciprocal exclusions & permissions for KIS and MBAM.

You didn't mention whether your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit, so here are both versions.

2. Open Kaspersky and click on Settings in the upper right-hand corner

4. Under Exclusions click on Settings...
   
5. In the Trusted zone window that pops up click on the Trusted applications tab
   
6. Click on the Add button and select Browse
   
7. In the browse window that opens navigate to C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
   
8. Double-click on mbam.exe and in the window that pops up, click the box next to each of the items listed in the window so that they are all checked and click on OK
   
9. Do the same for each of the following:
   
   • 
     
   • mbamgui.exe
     
   • mbamservice.exe
     

[*]Once that is complete, click on OK to close the exclusions window

Hi, daledoc1

thank you for your responding for my questions. But..

I followed step by step your descriptions but it didnt solve my problem

Still the same issue. Malwarebyets freezes in the middle of the scan

I dont know how i can solve this.

Maybe you have other ideas?

[lavinia]

btw it is windows 7, 32 bit

Should i shut down Kaspersky? Maybe it still blockes?

Hi, again, lavinia:

Thanks for the update.

Sorry it's not working yet.

No, absolutely do NOT turn off KIS real-time protection! That would be dangerous.

Are you showing any signs of infection?

If not, then I would have 1 more suggestion before I refer you to someone more expert.

That would be to try a clean reinstall of MBAM, following the steps in the proper order to permit KIS and MBAM to work correctly together.

Please do the following and let us know if it corrects the issue.

• If you are using MBAM PRO, be sure to have your license ID and key handy first.
  
• 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 ID & key you were sent via email, if you are using the PRO version.
  
• Launch MBAM 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 set up any file exclusions as may be required in your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security/Firewall applications, and then restart your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security applications. When you get to this point, please use the instructions in my earlier reply to set the exclusions.
  

Please take your time and follow the instructions exactly as written.

Many of us use both KIS/KAV and MBAM PRO without issues, so it ought to resolve your issue.

If not, then your scan freezes might be due to something else, such as a bad hard disk sector, a corrupt file, or perhaps malware.

In that case, we'll see what the more expert folks recommend in terms of running some diagnostics, etc.

Thanks for your patience,

daledoc1

PS If a more expert member or MBAM staffer replies in the interim, please be sure to follow their advice.

PPS: Please use the button instead of other ones when you reply here and at the other forums, so that it will be easier to read.

Hi Spc3rd,

Im so happy

I followed your instructions and let check up the CHKDSK.

After this I run malwarebytes as an adminstrator. Voilà! Finally it worked ^^

And no threat was found ^^

Thank you so much for your support I appreciate your helps..

By the way one question. Is there a difference when I run the program as an adminstrator?

I mean it doesnt matter right?

Regards,

Lavinia
