I got this error code everytime when I try to perform quick or full scan. How to fix it?

It appears to be some issue with updating the results for the log. There are various issues that could be at fault.

It is probably best to take this over to the HJT forum where some scans from other tools and methods can be explored. Note though that the site is very busy and this could take a couple days before someone is able to assist you.

Thanks for your info. Also, when I switch to Quarantine page, there is an error code as well.

But all the function works well except the error code, it's little bit agonising.

No problem, just follow the directions above and someone will attempt to track down the cause.

MBAM has trouble with Unicode characters, as it is written in Visual Basic, and Visual Basic does not fully support Unicode. When the application hits characters that are encoded in Unicode (such as Chinese characters) it will usually throw an error code, and keep scanning.

This should no longer be an issue once the tedious task of porting MBAM into C++ is finished. I do not believe there is currently a time table for this though, as it is not always an easy task to port from one programing language to another.

Yes it is quite possible, but checking the system with some other tools is not a bad idea either as we rarely have these reports and MBAM is used on many OS versions of various languages around the World.
