Malwarebytes Log-can anyone please check this?

Hi all,

When on the computer earlier I got a virus take over (System Tool). I searched the forum and did the recommended necessary things (ran kRill) & have just run the malwarebytes and this is the log. Can anyone tell me where I go from here? Thanks

    Malwarebytes is way out of date.

    Update and rescan.

    Current database version is 5888
  • How can I get the latest version? I tried it again but now have 5750. Thanks

    When you've done the latest updates, run the scan again and when done it will give you an option to remove (or words to that effect) the malware it finds. You may have to shut or move the log page out of the way to see the 'remove' bar.

    I remove everything it finds.

    :)
    Best regards

    When I was young I knew all the answers.
    Now I'm only just beginning to understand the questions.

    If you are running Vista, your Service Packs are way out of date-you should be on SP2 as of nearly 2 years ago.
    Check you are set to Auto Updates in Security Center.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I've had to save malwarebytes to a USB stick & now I've opened up my laptop in normal mode & it won't let me run it. What do I do?!

    Go Control Panel>Security Center and set to Auto Updates. Then Go to Windows Updates and download manually until up to date.
    Please confirm what OS you are using.
    Get your system clean before you worry about this though. But it could explain why you have got infected.

    you need to download Rkill

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

    all the variants to the USB drive, then run them one by one on the laptop untill you see a black square screen pop up and its working , if memory serves me right you should try this version

    eXplorer.exe Download Link

    first

    then try malwarebytes again

    Ok, many thanks for your help. I've just tried the one you posted and a black screen popped up. Should I now run malwarebytes in normal moe rather than safe mode?
