I've used the mbam setup 1.41 and everything seems to install fine up until mbam is supposed to start. Then I get an error dialog box with the title "Setup" and says "Unable to execute file: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\mbam.exe CreateProcess failed: code 2. the system cannot find the file specfied." If I try to start the app from the desktop icon, it says it cannot be found and tries to browse. When I look at the installation folder, there are a lot of files but no mbam.exe. What is wrong?

sounds like you have an infection that is deleting or disabling mbam.exe.

Scan and post logs - read note at bottom in green
If you're having Malware related issues with your computer that you're unable to resolve.
  • Please do not post any logs in the General forum. We do not work on any logs posted in the General forum.
  • Please do not install any software or use any removal/scanning tool except for those you're requested to run by the Helper that will assist you.
  • Using these other tools often makes the cleanup task more difficult and time consuming.
  • If you have already submitted for assistance at one of the other support sites on the Internet then you should not post a new log here, you should stay working with the Helper from that site until the issue is resolved.
  • Do not assume you're clean because you don't see something in the logs. Please wait until the person assisting you provides feedback.
  • There are often many others that require assistance as well, so please be patient. If no one has responded within 48 hours then please go ahead and post a request for review
  • NOTE: If for some reason you're unable to run some or any of the tools in the first link, then skip that step and move on to the next one.
