After I ran MalwareBytes I got several infections (84), the program then asked me to restart to remove them. The problem is after I restart Windows blocks Malware under the "programs blocked at startup" in the system tray, and when I try to let it nothing happens. Then if I run MalwareBytes again I get the same 84 infections. I also tried running it under safe mode, but it didn't detect any threat. Thanks a lot in advance. |

I followed the steps in that guide, the problem is when MalwareBytes tries to delete some malware on startup, after restart Windows Defender or some other Windows aplication blocks the MalwareBytes..
I will post some screenshots in case I didn't explain myself correctly.. First I ran MalwareBytes and got 84 infections..which would get deleted at startup.. ![]() ![]() But after restart it gets blocked by Windows, and if I click the "run blocked program" nothing happens.. ![]() ![]() Finally if I run MalwareBytes again I get the same 84 infections and the same prompt to restart.. ![]() ![]() has this happened to somebody else?

No need to post the same thing here, you have your topic in the malware removal forum. Your problem will be fixed there
