I am using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1,21, updated today.

I have been using this program for a while, now, and this is the first time I have ever seen this error. The scan continues, seemingly without issue. There is nothing in the log that indicates any problem, whatsoever.

It first occurred earlier today. I ran a full scan. After the error (early in the scan), the scan revealed two issues: A trojan (reset.cmd) and a rootkit (lvuvc.hs). I removed both, rebooted to safe mode and reran a full scan. This ran w/o incident and found nothing. Just to test, I reran a full scan in normal mode and, once again received the same error code: 722 (0,6). This time the scan found nothing.

Is there anything I should check or test?

I am a first time poster. I searched the forum, but did not see this particular issue addressed.

Thank you in advance.

It has something to do with checking if a file is infected. Is this on a Unicode system ( Chinese, Japanese, Russian ... )

Thanks for the quick response, DuckY. How do I check to see whether this is a Unicode system?

OK, here's the deal (as far as I can tell).

Somehow my IE7 setting keeps changing. I used to have it set on Western European (to the best of my recollection)...that's how I keep Firefox 3 set. Anyway, IE7 was set to Unicode. I changed it to Western European, but still got the same error from Malwarebytes. When I close and reopen IE, the setting is changed back to Unicode. I change it back to Western European (Windows), it changes to Unicode, and then, when I open this website, it changes to Western European (ISO).

Bottom line is, when IE7 is open, I get that error message, irrespective of the Encoding setting (which is clearly problematic on my computer). When I change IE to Western European and close it...and run Malwarebytes while IE is closed, the error does not occur.

So, do you think I need to worry about this, at all?

Thanks.

No, I will look into the issue. For now, it is not a critical problem. How many times per scan does this happen?

Just once, in the very beginning of the scan. When IE is closed, it doesn't happen at all.

Thanks for looking into it.

DuckY,

If you are still interested, at all, in this, I have an update.

When I open IE7 without add-ons, and have only one tab open, and change that tab's encoding to Western European, Malwarebytes runs without issue. If I run IE normally, even with only one tab, set to Western Eurpoean, I continue to get the error above.

It seems as though Firefox 3 settings have no impact on the program.

Thank you for your assistance.
