If I select no, then hit next, I then click update, it downloads the definitions, then I click next. Then I click Scan, and I receive this message.

DDA stands for Direct Disk Access, and is required for rootkit scanning. Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit needs this driver installed in order to be able to detect and remove most rootkits and is needed for it to function properly on any operating system. It's possible that another process is blocking it from doing so, such as your antivirus or third party firewall if you use one.

FRST search

Once again we shall use FRST for additional checks. Re-run FRST/FRST64 the same way:
  • Copy explorer.exe into the Search: field in FRST then click the Search Files button.
  • FRST will search your computer for files and when finished it will produce a log Search.txt in the same directory the tool is run.
  • Please attach it to your reply.

FRST.gif
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

icon_exclaim.gif
This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
icon_exclaim.gif

icon_exclaim.gif
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.
icon_exclaim.gif
Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

I just got a malware bytes popup screen again with that odd message.

Malicious Website Protection, IP, 91.214.45.106, 6881, Outbound, C:\Windows\explorer.exe

First one I've had since we did everything.

It is uTorrent port.
IP blocks can indicate a number of things:
  • They could indicate that MBAM is doing its job of blocking bad content on websites.
They can also occur when running Skype and certain P2P programs, such as torrents.
