MalwareBytes !!!

    NOT happy with this program which often seems to be recommended in here !!

    Difficult to uninstall, (tried uninstalling | reinstalling | uninstalling
    again) e.g. :-

    then, regsvr32 -u mbamext.dll
    or regsvr32 -u C:\windows\pathaname\malwarebytes stupid dir. name with
    apostrophe in it\mbamext.dll
    would not work.

    Parent web-site seems to be littered with advice on how to cope with a
    multitude of sins !!!

    ....now my registry is littered with redundant MalwareBytes registry entries
    !

    BEFORE INSTALLING "Malwarebytes anti-malware," (as with all appps.), MAKE
    SURE that you make an XP restore point BEFORE installing it, so that after
    "uninstalling" it, you can put your registry back into the condition it was
    in, before installing yet one more program with a "token gesture" uninstall
    routine !

    regards, Richard

    ....or was Spybot S&D ...or AVG full ...or Windows Defender ...etc.
    ....hindering something somewhere ! :)

    ...and after some housekeeping, I seem to have got rid of -> "Windows was

    Yes. Even Microsoft employees have recommended MBAM to users with
    malware troubles. MBAM enjoys a fine reputation.

    Why was MBAM being un/re/uninstalled? Are you saying that the MBAM
    uninstaller itself is leaving too many residual entries in your system
    that you believe could be bothersome?

    Perhaps you mean to enter:

    cd c:\program files\malwarebytes' anti-malware

    c:\program files\malwarebytes' anti-malware> regsvr32 /u mbamext.dll
    or
    c:\program files\malwarebytes' anti-malware> regsvr32 -u mbamext.dll

    Why do you believe unregistering is required?

    It's difficult to understand why you believe the MBAM installer
    shouldn't make registry entries.

    What is in your "etc" expression?



    Hello Richard:

    Your situation seems to have gotten the best of your emotions.
    Thousands have ot/ experienced what you are trying to express.

    Your system may be suffering corruption that is causing your distress.

    I'm not knocking Spybot-S&D, but once MBAM & SAS are installed, many
    will not employ Spybot-S&D.

    Perhaps you could explain the root cause of your MBAM trouble or your
    system's trouble.

    As an alternative, you might prefer to open a trouble ticket with
    email to: support@malwarebytes.org or post to the MBAM forum you're
    aware of.

    Do you believe it might be helpful for others if you revealed more OS
    details pertaining to the system you're working with?

    Regards,

    Pete

    I've run MBAM on hundreds of computers, even compromised ones, and never
    had a problem with it.

    Why would you be manually trying to mess with DLL's?

    What other protection tools did you have running? You mentioned SBS&D in
    another post, were you also running the TeaTimer that blocks registry
    changes?

    See you got it sorted out, sometimes it has to be renamed or run in
    Safe mode when the infection has really taken a strong hold.

    The program is small because it specialises in removing the latest
    infections, not all of course, thousands of new variations are coming
    out every month, no one program can keep up with it. When an infection
    is covered by the majority of programs, he removes it from his program.

    Not only is it recommended here, major infection specialists insist it
    is run with thers, before they start working on the the system.

    Here are few of them.













     
  7. MalwareBytes works well because it appears to use a kernel boot driver to
    remove infections; something many other security products seem to be unable
    to do. This ensures files detected are killed. I'm betting the included
    File/Reg assassin and Avenger use the same technology. AVZ/Kaspersky Virus
    Removal Tool can do the same thing, but these are all manual repair
    solutions.

    Actually Malwarebytes works better in the normal Windows Environment then in Safe
    mode

    Hello Peter:

    Under circumstances where the computer's infestation is ot/
    targeting MBAM & other malware removal efforts, you are quite correct.
    However, we've seen in the last six months where some instances /do/
    call for MBAM renaming and Internet access wasn't practical.

    But again - yes you are right.

    It's SAS that under some circumstances works best in Safe Mode.

    Regards,

    Pete

    Thanks for your response.
    ....I think I was having a bad day, plus I seem to be getting absent minded
    these days, so ...forgetting to un-immunize, and switch off Tea-Timer module
    in Spybot S&D, before trial-ing and error-ing various anti-malware programs,
    not to mention the undocumented behaviours, and interactions, of other
    anti-malware programs with "other" anti-malware programs.

    It seems to be easier at some times, and harder at other times, to remain
    aware of exactly how various anti-malware programs are behaving - and what
    they are doing, ...and allowing, ...and preventing !!! :)

    I do like to experiment with a wide range of anti-malware applications, and
    monitor what they are doing. AVG has recently been deploying some
    impressive algorithms, and techniques, in "their" fight against new malware
    variants, ...and I recently read with interest, views expressing diminishing
    approval of AVG when, in fact, AVG is putting as much, if not more, effort,
    into improving their product than many other anti-malware
    vendors....phew...I was wondering when that sentence was going to end. !

    In other words, after achieving an "installed application program mix,"
    (particularly anti-malware programs), which is problem free, ...it becomes
    difficult to bear in mind, over a period of time, the MANY behaviours of
    MANY installed applications !

    :)

    Hello Richard:

    You are head and shoulders above the users who fail to realize the
    threat is real and it's almost always at or near your doorstep. You
    are on the right track. Keep going!

    Warm regards to you,

    Pete

    I'll second that!

    Richard also felt uneasy with the 'advice' given to him by Bill Castner
    on Aumha.net

    Has anyone *here* anything to say in support (or otherwise) of that site?

    Always interested and enquiring!

    aumha.net was a quite useful site.

    Of course, I don't ever go there, since the person you mention, if that's
    his real name ! ...became associated with it. i.e.
    ...and I would thank you BD to stop dragging up the distant past !

    regards, Richard

    Hello Richard

    I replied to you from my home. I'm now on board my narrowboat using '3'
    mobile broadband to connect to the I.nternet. I cannot now see the post I
    made in response to your request to stop "dragging up the distant past".

    Have you seen the reply I sent you? Thanks - in anticipation of a response
    from you!
