When I start MalwearBytes AntiMalwear a pop-up box appears that reads the following;

[Create Service] Failed to preform desired action. Error Code: 1073

Does anyone know how to deal with this error?

Please follow the instructions for #7 of the FAQ located here to see if that corrects it.

If not then please create a batch file:

• Please copy and paste the following text in the Code box exactly as written into notepad (not wordpad or any other text editor):
  

  reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup" /v SystemPartition>"%userprofile%\desktop\SysPart.txt"

• Once you've done that click on File and select Save As...
  
• In the Save dialogue box click on the drop down menu next to Save as type and select All Files
  
• Name the file Check.bat (the .bat extension is very important)
  
• Save the file to your desktop and double click it to run it.

Once it completes you will find a file named SysPart.txt on your desktop. Please copy and paste its contents into your next reply.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks .

OK. Here are the contents of the file;

! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
SystemPartition REG_SZ \Device\Harddisk0\DP(1)0x7e00-0x32e53fc00+1

(I'm not sure how this will help though..?)

There is a known issue with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and non-default disk configurations, which that registry key shows. Currently there is no known solution and as such I would advise you to contact support@malwarebytes.org and they will provide you with a full refund.
