While cleaning a computer, I had a hard time removing a rootkit. Malwarebytes did not catch it, and this rootkit was giving me errors trying to remove malwarebytes and run the clean tool. It also would not give me a clean install. Once I removed these two files that I included in the zip file, the rootkit was gone, and I was able to install malwarebytes and run a successful scan. There are two files inside the zip file, one is an exe file the other is has no extension. They were hidden protected files and I was not able to change their attributes.

It is quite possible the computer had the MAX++ Rootkit installed which is currently making MBAM operations impossible(it changes file permissions on all MBAM files).Once it is unloaded MBAM can be uninstalled and reinstalled to repair this direct attack on our software.
