Good Afternoon,

Well, for starters, thank you ever so much for taking the time to read my posting!

So, that having been said, as of this week I have a problem with 2 malware in the registry of my PC desktop (and the first time I'm experiencing a slight problem with MBAM...or its simply just me the user).

What happens is that MBAM detects the 2 infections. Once the scan runs its course I'm shown the results. When I choose remove selected...I get a pop up from McAfee Security Center asking allow/block MBAM?...I choose allow. I get the message that a log file has been saved and that the malware was successfully quarantined/removed. I am prompted to restart the Computer (which I do). Later, however, the very same malware reappear in the registry of my computer (like a dog chasing its tail). This has been going on for a week now (and I DO need a secure computer).

So, I did a online Panda ActiveScan 2.0. I did'nt get a log file, yet NO infections (instead it said my Windows Defender was disabled).

Here are my MBAM & TrendMicro HighJackThis logs...

So, as said, at first everything seems okay (successfull quarantine/removal of the 2 malware, yet within hours they show up again...'its the malware that keeps on giving").

It has been months since I bought MBAM, and registered it, hence I can no longer recall which e-mail address I used at the time (I'll check back here on a regular/hourly basis). One can also leave a Personal Message for me at this website.

I hope you are having more luck then I am currently,

Old logs are of no use to us. Please do this. Turn off McAfee totally. Update MBAM, do a Quick Scan post that log and then the HJT log. Those lines are not actually malware and should get fixed if MBAM is allowed to do so.

Good Evening Jean,

So...sorry about the old logs (I posted them so that people on this forum could see what I was talking about...that this process just kept repeating itself). It is, however, good to hear YOU say that those lines are not actually malware (what a relief)!

Turn OFF McAfee? As this is both my Anti-Virus & Firewall...maybe a little problematic...also I'm not familiar enough with McAfee Security Center on how to do so safely without further exposing myself to danger (this is a new desktop computer on which McAfee Security was free/pre-installed...I used to subscribe to Norton). There I've said it...I publicly admitted to being "low brow" when it comes to computers/programs.

Also, as of this late afternoon I encountered problems opening/running TrendMicro's HighJackThis (got a pop up that said, "Your system denied write access to the Hosts file. If any highjacked domains are in this file, HighJackThis may not be able to fix this").

Hmmm, You wouldn't, by any chance, happen to know how I could go about turning off the part of McAfee that is interfereing with MBAM (without turning off my McAfee firewall...I get about 100 attacks on my firewall per day). And, if so, share that with me? (imagine me being coy)

Good Night Jean,

So, what a difference an hour can make! LOL

It was, as previously said, a great relief for me to see YOU write I don't actually have maleware in my registry (desktop), hence I'm feeling giddy and light-headed (Geek Squad can "Kiss My Bumper").

So, if McAfee Security Center was contributing to the problem (by getting in the way of MBAM) then something had to be done about it (albeit not too radical). I tried to call McAfee Tech Support (Dell/McAfee customers have their own 1-800 #), yet to no avail (could not get through).

Well, so I tinkered around a little bit (last time I did that I gave my Dad's $5,000 computer a lobotomy). It turns out it isn't necessary to turn off McAfee entirely (or at least not in my case).

Under McAfee Security Center (Home) one clicks on "Computer & Files" (blue arrow)...click on configure...under Virus Protection click advanced...(new pop up appears)...click SystemGuards...(new interface) on the right side it says Program SystemGuards (its actually part of a drop down menu)...click on the down arrow...choose Windows SystemGuard...scroll down to Windows Shell Open Commands...click on it...(on the bottom right) choose I want to - Only log changes...click okay or apply.

That seems to do the trick for me (now MBAM can do what it has to without interferance from McAfee Security Center).

So, here are my logs...

I'll try and post tomorrow if that finally, once and for all, took care of the MBAM infection alert regarding my registry.

Hmmm, don't laugh, but I accidently deleted my recycle bin. With Windows XP you could simply right-click the icon and delete the contents without having to open the recycle bin (apparently if you do that with Vista you delete the desktop icon). Any idea on how I can get my recycle bin back (or create a new desktop icon)?

From out East,

Good Morning,

So, please disregard the recycle bin desktop icon issue (I found out how to restore it in Control Panel Classic View).

I'm currently running all my security software in order to ensure that there no longer are any traces of viruses/malware/spyware on my computer (I'll post the results asap).

From Ms. Not so lost afterall,

Ack poor instructions on my part also. I meant turn off McAfee just long enough to allow MBAM to do the repair and then turn it on again. See your a bit more techno than you thought. Glad this is all fixed up now.
