I use Avira, and have never had any virus problems before, but last week I got a nasty infection that deactivated it. I was then able to start in safe mode and run a scan with MBAM however it locked up after finding 16 threats, only 2 mins in.... Then my whole comp freezes completely.
Now I can not run MBAM it just gives me a 'run time error 0; run time error 440 Automation error.'
I can still operate but my computer often freezes and I have to manually shut down...I am worried about what the malware is doing behind the scenes!
I’ve gone through the guide, and have done Step1: TFC and Step 2: ERUNT, but can’t run mbam after the install. I’ve tried renaming the MBAM but that hasn't worked either, I also tried Spybot search and destroy that also starts scanning but will freeze after a few mins.
Please help. Thank you!
