MalwareBytes and Windows Vista, Won't let MB run at startup

Hello, my problem is the following:

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.

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

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?
