David, Thanks for the insight. I am basing my statements on real world experience with MBAM PRO. I know you are too, and seem to know better than me what the program actually DOES, but I stand by my observation that MBAM PRO seems to out perform most other AV products.. There have been instances where MBAM has failed to prevent either a primary infection, or failed to remove an infected file, but those instances are few and far between. I dont mean to say that MBAM is an All in One solution. It is NOT. Even folks like Exile tell people to scan with SuperAntiSpyware, for instance. MBAM is great for dectecting fiiles that dont belong , and for removing scareware. However, like you said, I dont think I have been able to use MBAM to remove a virus, or malicious code, from say ... an MP3 file. Anyway, overall its a great product. The price is right, and when coupled with the right software, its a nightmare for virus manufacturers.

MBAM Team, I wanted to stop by and thank you all for an amazing product. I know that the Dev Team says that MBAM is built to "compliment" other AV programs, but I find that it does the job the others were hired for in the first place. For example, I had a nasty infection on a pc running AVG 2012. It was current and after two complete scans, one in "normal" windows logon, and one in safe mode, it still found nothing. However, after installing and firing up MBAM it found it, and then AVG proceeded to say "Oh yeah, we caught this.. BTW". The program runs flawlessly. You set it and forget it, for the most part. I used it a lot until i bought the paid Pro version. The program is nearly unstoppable. Good Job guys!

Thank you for the kind words guys. If i encounter any other install errors with ant future viruses I'll definitely post here.

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to pass along some information. I Used the subinacl +Batch file trick to reset permissions to allow installation of MBAM, but ran into a problem with ONE registry key. The key was "Hkey_Classes_Root\.mbam" . I had to go into the registry to that key and manually set the permissions by taking ownership of the key, and setting full control for administrators. AFter setting that permission everything went smoothly. Also MBAM is the BEST program that I know of for getting rid of the majority of the WinAntivirus 2009 infection. I used MBAM, Hijack this, Spybot search and destroy, and LSPfix. MBAM is the BEST free program out there, and I cannot begin to praise its dev team enough. THANK YOU Malwarebytes team for helping IT pros like me kick some major @$$!
