MBAM will NEVER add antivirus abilities to its core app and is always advised to be used WITH antivirus software. MBAM is now a very good backup to any antivirus software and will only get better in the future. Lets settle this now and avoid any further misinformation. A huge chunk of the research that goes into MBAM revolves around what we see making it into HJT threads as the vast majority of these threads involve antivirus software that was in some way bypassed. I do not spend my time making MBAM detect millions of infections that any decent AV already detects as MBAM is DESIGNED to work alongside antivirus software, not replace it.
MBAM is designed to be very good at dealing with malware that the AVs seem to be having problems with. I'll quote one of the lead developers of Malwarebytes (Bruce Harrison) which might explain why I'm saying that:Īs far as why MBAM is very good at dealing with this infection, that is simple. If you don't want to spend the money that's fine, try one of the free antivirus applications and you should also have a software firewall. I just realised you stated 'I've never used an anti-virus package since it's not too difficult to use an anti-malware to scan." - that is very unwise. It's a pest, but it's not a PC-killer, and Malwarebytes sees it & quarantines it promptly. However, I'm surprised that McAfee doesn't ID and remove this thing. If any install files were deleted by the malware, restore them from your SP3 files or XP backup.
If it's now viewable, go to the C:\WINDOWS\inf folder, double-click the inf folder, right-click au.inf, and then click "Install". The inf folder is a hidden folder, so you need to reset it to "View" (Usually, C:\WINDOWS is the path of the WINDOWS system folder). You need to go to the C:\WINDOWS\inf folder. If Automatic Upates won't return to normal, it can be reinstalled from your SP3 files: Now Firefox was running again, but Windows Security updates was still disabled. Within a couple of minutes I found that the Malwarebytes executable was disabled, so I reinstalled it and cleaned out the "XP Total Security". It simply arrived, disabled stuff, and started flashing is panic attack message. I was surprised how thoroughly it had wedged iteslf into my PC, disabling Firefox, Windows Security, Windows Automatic Updates, and Malwarebytes, amongst other things. But the "XP Total Security" arrived on my desktop a couple of days ago. I've never used an anti-virus package since it's not too difficult to use an anti-malware to scan and delete the villains.
