Hi, i am wanting to remove Malware bytes 3.0.6.1469 when i go into the control panel, add/remove programs, locate Malware bytes in the list, highlight, press ''uninstall'' tab, i get a pop up box message saying ''Run time error (at43:134): could not call Proc'' i have googled this and it lead me to your forum (lucky for me)
i have done a Zoek report log and kept that if its any use? i also have 2 pop up adware browser windows, but that's a separate issue. I would like to get Malware bytes off my pc first, i would be great full for some help, thank you.

Hello @Derbi,
You can follow these steps to remove Malwarebytes from your PC:

Note: mb-clean.exe will eventually replace the legacy version of "mbam-clean.exe".
