it may be sticking as it trys to run the MBAM.exe file it's installed
if it stays stuck then kill the install from taskmanager (ctrl/alt/del) and then see if the installed folder is there under Start, all programs
then find mbam.exe and rename it to cleanup.exe and try and run itEx forum ambassador
