fartlek Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I can't install the antispyware program. I think that the malware is blocking installations of removal software, updates for AdAware and access to any software's website (page cannot be displayed). Searches for help are always hijacked.I have the MediaTubeCodec variant.I really need removal instructions that don't involve software, or a way to make the installer work, but neither seem to be addressed anywhere. If anyone could help (I imagine this post will get moved to another place), I would greatly appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubbeR DuckY Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Can you please rename mbam-setup.exe to whatever.exe and try again. Sometimes malware blocks the installation by name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin.Paar Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Rubber Ducky > I have the same problem, but probably it is even worse than in July. How and where do I rename mbam-setup.exe, so that I can download the programme? This f***ing malware does not allow me to do anything! It does not even allow me to download other spyware programmes!It is very agressive and annoying. It pops up screens everywhere and anytime. When writing an e-mail, sometimes I activate it. Horrible! Please help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Edwin,Please try downloading and installing Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of the following links: http://www.besttechie.net/tools/btmb.exehttp://www.jeffweisbein.com/temp/btmb.exeSee if that works, I've renamed and uploaded it for you. Good luck,B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM299 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Edwin, when it informs you that it comes back (or multiplies), does it show you where it's comming from? It should say something like: C:/(Name)/Documents/Pictures/Virus.exe, or whatever. If it does, find it and delete the whole thing, and if it comes back, I'm puzzled.

Besttechie Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 shawnindrerd,Can you please try installing Malwarebytes in Safe Mode?When you boot up your machine, tap F8 until you see a screen prompting you to enter safe mode. Select Safe Mode from the list and hit enter.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shanenin Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 My experience when I can't get malwarebytes to install is usually do to a root kit. 9 out of 10 times if I run combofix first it will remove the root kit, then malwarebytes will install fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
