Why not uninstall it then download a fresh install?0

Please try the following routine to see if you can get Malwarebytes to run.
Click on Start, click Run, and then type devmgmt.msc and click OK
On the View menu click on Show hidden devices
Browse to Non-Plug and Play Drivers and you should see something like TDSSserv.sys
Highlight that driver and right click on it and select DISABLE
Now RESTART your computer.
Download a copy of Malwarebytes but DO NOT run it yet.
Rename the downloaded installer file to any generic name such as your own name but keep the .EXE extension on the file and run it.
Once the program is installed go to the UPDATE tab and try to update the program if you can.
Then go to the SCANNER tab and run a Quick Scan and allow MBAM to fix anything found.Computers are like me, I get up in the morning and work...until I stop.0 -
Kwikbreaks and Altahost.
Thankyou very much for your replies,I did what Kwikbreaks suggested and it is now working fine.
when i first ran it it took a long time to complete but when it did it came back as being clear,i tried it one more time and it ran much faster and worked like it did before.
It was working fine up until i updated my Bitdefender Antivirus from the 2009 version to 2010:mad:Forum spellcheckers are the pitts.0 -
