Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes

No properly it cannot.

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....
Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make recovery difficult

You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below:

• Option 1 —— Free Expert advice in the Malware Removal Forum
  
• Option 2 —— Paying customer -- Contact Support via email

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum, you need to start a topic in the

NOTE: Please do not post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.
Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies.
If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.

Hello and

Malwarebytes can not be run from a bootable disk. Malwarebytes is designed to run on a computer preferably in windows normal mode. That being said, it sounds like you are trying to fight an infection.

You should follow the instructions that were provided to you in your other thread located right => HERE by AdvancedSetup

EDIT:

AdvancedSetup beat me to it..... follow the instructions above....

Thanks. Why can't mbam be renamed to circumvent the malware. It is always blocked.

This is how it was designed. Please follow the directions AdvancedSetup posted.

With the new chameleon technology it is no longer necessary rename mbam.exe. You can look at the start menu entry for malwarebytes and the chameleon helpfile is there. chameleon launches mbam in a protected environment and will kill the process blocking it and clean the machine.
