Thanks. Yes my system is 32 bit I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else happening that was incorrect Just can't believe I'm the only one with C:\Malwarebytes on my machine I'm almost 100% sure this is not a virus/malware/spyware issue I mean what purpose would it serve to hace that folder in C:\ if there were malicious intent? And then why would I be able to update defs and run scans if there was soemthing bad? That is why I do not see this as an infection, but some type of vista quirk I willl try to uninstall and reinstall again this weekend Sure would like to know if ANY else has or had the same issue thanks all

But with the free version, there would still be C:ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Ant-Mlaware and contained in there would be things like ignore config rules.ref among a few other things, right? also is it correct to have these items with free mlawarebytes version? C:\Windows\System32\Drivermbam.sys C:\Windows\Sytem32\Drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

so just to clarify, when malwarebytes is correctly installed on a Vista Home premium 32 bit machine These items should be in C:\ProgramData\malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware ? Config ignore links local news rules The "guts" (mbam.exe and such files ) should be in C:\ProgramFiles\Malwarebytes And then the quarantine and log folders should be in C:\Users\"myname"\appdata\roaming\malwarebytes\malwarebytes' anti-malware C:\Users\Admin\appdata\roaming\malwarebytes\malwarebytes' anti-malware correct?

Received an error 2 when running mbam-clean.exe

Ok I did the remove program and used the mbam-clean.exe went and did a fresh clean install of mlawarebytes 1.50 (FREE VERSION) Downloaded and installed without issue. However, when logged in as limited user account and then run malwarebytes as admin, I still get the folder C:\Malwarebyteswith sub folders logs and quarantine I checked in C:\ProgramData\ and I have a malwarebytes folder with a subfolder Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware That folder contains Config ignore links local news rules But the Log subfolder and the qy=uarantine subfolder are not there but rather in C:\Malwarebyes\malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Scans work ok and I can get updates, just this one strange issue Does that mean the product is not correctly installed on my PC?

I'm just using the free version

I mean malware

On a flash drive when I open hidden files and then uncheck "hide protected operating systems files" there is a tmp file ~WRL2646.tmp when I scan it with Norton and Malwarebytes, it shows clean

If one is removing malwarebytes from their PC, but will reinstall it, does one HAVE to use the mbam-clean.exe? Or is this item (mbam-clean.exe) only if there is some problems with installing?

also, any sense as to the reason why it happened, the odd folder location? I also notice my desktop icon properties did not change as far as modification date. might this be the problem?

thanks I have a few questions, though 1.So is this od file location anything to do with malware or infection, or just a messed up download? 2. Is mbam-clean.exe a malwarebytes clean up tool? 3. when I clicked the link you gave to download Mlawarebytes 1.5, it took me to a website fileforum.betanews.com the download from there??? 4. Is imperative that I do this immediately, since I only use malwarebytes as an on demand scanner? Meaning is this messed up malwarebytes a security vulnerability?

My set up HP Desktop Vista Home premium 32 bit OS with Vista SP2 Have an admin account and a limited user account Always log in via limited user account So the morning of 11/30/10 I go ahead and click the shortcut on my desk top for malwarebytes I right click then select run as administrator Vista OS asks for the admin password, I enter it, no problem So the malwarebytes window opens ( GUI?) I select the tab that says update Update runs and tells me there is new version of malwarebytes 1.5 I allow it to install It is in C:\ProgramFiles Rebooot my PC and log in again as limited user account again right click the Malwarebytes shortcut Icon and run as admin update defs then run a quick scan scan goes well, nothing detected BUT.... when I go t the C drive of my computer, I see a a folder Malwarebytes C:\Malwarebytes it has a subfolder Malwarebytes Ant-Malware then two sub folders under that Logs Quarantine I never had these folders showing in C:\ then when I open up the GUI, the tabs for the logs show nothing Should there be a folder Malwarebytes located/ C:\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Ant-malware I hecked with several others and nobody has such a folder in such a location
