I can’t get MalwareByte to install. I’m running Windows Server 2008 R2.

Any suggestions?

This thing is nasty. It took two days to get my PC back. A combination of Malwarebytes, registry vb script and the best site of all was the dougnox site to fix all the associations.

This malware popped up on my laptop last night and took over my machine,every thing I tried to open was infected.
I did a System Restore to the previous day and it seemed to take care of it. I then ran my aniti-virus program and malware program and they said I was clean.

I encountered the problem yesterday with os-guard pro2010, couldnt do anything and forums didnt help eithere, I fixed this problem by going into safe mode and restoring system to earlier date and it fixed my problem.

I’ve gotten 3 different versions of this virus in the past few weeks so unfortunately I’m becoming pretty good at getting rid of it. Depending on the version you have you can stop the constant pop-ups by ending svchast.exe in task manager… if you can get task manager open that is. If you can’t get it open I found a great site that explains how to fix that – hxxp://ask-leo.com/why_is_my_task_manager_disabled_and_how_do_i_fix_it.html It’s pretty easy to follow and doesn’t take much time.

Another life saver I found when all my normal applications (pretty much everything in the control panel) were more or less dead restores original window files back to normal (i used it for my exe programs) hxxp://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

Malwarebytes has been the only (free) program to actually wipe it out. If it won’t install and/or run after downloading here is a great post explaining what to do. hxxp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t246392.html NOTE: make sure to get the latest version.

I hope these are helpful to someone. I’m a pretty low level computer user so sorry for the non-tech lingo.

I hear you! Their “low” rating is not at all the right one! My kid got it and it’s a pain. Same as Mac’s situation. I have Norton’s latest and didn’t do anything to block it, also have Webroot Spy Sweeper. Need help.

wrong rating people. it is a monster. go to malwarebytes forum and read. it disables mbam and most everything else.
