[QUOTE="TIA, post: 250533, member: 26891"] I think I may be in a world of trouble now: There are some things my laptops refuse to do, and that is either run or install malwarebytes, GMER, or spybot. (among a couple of others) Whereas only recently i could get them to run by changing their names. The ones that were already installed no longer work and if I try to re-run them from my download folder, it says it can't because the files already exist. If I try to download them again says C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Gmer will [I]run[/I], [I]but[/I] again on start up it [I]says[/I] '[I]C[/I]:\[I]WINDOWS[/I]\[I]system32[/I]\[I]config[/I]\[I]system[/I]: The [I]process cannot access[/I] the [I]file because[/I] it is [I]being used[/I] by [I]another process[/I]'. I have tried TDSSKiller and It said 0 threats found, but so did these too: sonova, aswmbr, F-secure online scanner, Emsisoft, MBRL scan etc So it seem as though it lets me run software that knows won't find it, or am I being paranoid? :mad: But my main problem now is trying to get the good stuff running. I'm in a mad loop because I can't delete the disabled software and i can't re-run or download them. I have tried changing security permission to allow me to change files, so I could delete the old ones before reinstalling but it changes back, or tells me I don't have access or permission. I have tried Rkill first and then malwarebytes, GMER & spybot.... ....but no luck I have tried the run command but it says it can't find it and when i browse to it, it says it still can't find it. I have tried task manager and asking it for a new task ... this one almost gets me there .... but then fails. what else did I try? Oh yeah....: I tried to Use Malwarebytes Chameleon [B]... [/B]no luck Also Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from Safe Mode with Networking ... no luck I have already changed the folder settings to Show Hidden Files and Folders. So, what the hell do I do now?[B]:eek::oops:[/B] [/QUOTE]
