Yes. MBR [Master Boot Record ].

So after I click report, then I click on "Open TXT" and it presents a full report of all of the information found in all of the individual file tabs?

I assume that clicking on any one of the file tabs is just for when you want to fix or delete something?

 

[highup]

I can't update Malwarebytes........... it starts updating then stops. It didn't find anything.
Here's a printscreen.

 

[Nick]

Try safe mode , or just run it without the updates Hi.

Good Hi, Try Safe Mode with Networking to get the update For Malwarebytes. Need a fresh copy of it . Thanks .

 

[highup]

Not sure what you mean by "Safe Mode with Networking"
I'll do that tonight.

 

[Nick]

When you Boot up Keep tapping the F8 key at top of keyboard .
It will bring you into dos with options of how you want to boot .

Check Safe mode with Internet Networking .

If that does not get it, as it is so far out of date that it will not update, just re download and reinstall. Forgot that hang up.

 

[highup]

Got a problem............ I couldn't get the modem (external USB modem) to dial in safe mode. The connection icon did not even exist. Not even in the control panel. Here's why.

I thought I saw online that when you have a problem with this program, to delete the old program, then load the newest version.

 

[Nick]

You can try that HI. I never had a problem updating any version.

But you have a lot of errors on your confuser that may be causing the issue .

Either way i need to see a fresh copy of the log .

 

[highup]

It was about 1/3 of the way updated a couple of minutes ago......... it just quit. It's done that a few times in the past couple of days. Probably best just to reload to the latest version and see what happens.
What I've read says I probably need to be logged on as administrator.
