Problem after problem...


Recommended Posts

First it was the blue desktop and bugs screensaver, then a minor problem, now this.

I tried running a scan with Mbam one day and when I updated it it came up with a message saying:

Unable to create a temporary file. Setup aborted.

Error 5: Access is denied.

I am running administrator, so what's the problem?

It says the same thing. Aah! What's going on?

For some reason, now, the computer is running at 2 mph..

Edit: Ok, honestly I'm getting tired of this. I'm seriously running videos at dial-up speed now. Wtf.

Should I just restore to my last restore point or whatever it's called?

The blue desktop and the bugs crawling around the screen was the cause of malware. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can help you remove these problems. Can you please click IGNORE to every error you receive during installation. Once installed, run a quick scan and remove everything found.

Let me know if that takes care of the problem.

I would if I could :P

Every time I try to download it, when it comes up with the message, all it allows is you to click OK.

Nothing else.

And the computer is running fine now, It was running slow yesterday probably because I had to many programs running.

The system has been cleaned. I remember now I did forget to have him clear off Restore points.

Yes, it happens when I try to install things. When you say operating system do you mean computer?

This is a Windows XP Home ed., Ver. 2002, with service pack 3.

How do I rename mbam-setup.exe?

Right click, you will get a menu choose rename, then name it Legacy.exe

Wait a minute. I can't rename it if it's not in my files right?

Earlier in the thread rubber ducky told me to uninstall mbam and redownload ver. 1.18 and I did. When I tried downloading it again it had the error 5 message. So is it still possible that I can rename it??

I'm confused.

Anyway, this is my family computer but only 3 people use this computer, me, my brother, and his girlfriend.

I'm going to see if I can go to my last restore point.

Yes, right after I had to choose the language for it.

Anyways, I guess you can close this because I restored to my last point (which was extremely fast, I thought it would take ages) and it worked.

I'm running scans now, but thanks anyway.

I'm going to create a new restore point today.
