Hi

Earlier today I started having problems with many of my antimaleware progs. The problem started when I installed a flac2cd program an then some flac plugins for my nero8.

When I try to run Malwarebytes anti malware, Spyware Hunter 3, or Hijack this they start fine, but within a few seconds of running they all just... close. Upon trying to run them again I get a popup that says....

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Once that happens with either of those programs they wont start at all... just gives that msg even after a system reboot "even in safe mode with networking". [there may be other programs but I have not noticed any others doing this yet]

I can totally uninstall the programs an reinstall an then same as before. I can start the programs an even update tehm an let the mset doing nothing. But once I run any of them.... rinse an repeat... ugh..

I immediatly uninstalled ALL the flac related files I had downloaded moments earlier... but once the problem started.... nadda.

Also I have tried fixmbam.exe which I found in a link about something "like" my problem... but not exactly the same.

I have tried a system restore... nadda... I have tried dozens of restore points even months back.. nadda.... none work.


PLEASE someone help me, I am out of ideas!!

...the ability to edit a previous post would be wonderful... [please look over me, Im new here] . I appologise for the multiple posts....

Update...

I have run spybot search an destroy... same problem.

My antivirus I have installed atm is Avira AntiVir... then latere I tried AVG to see if something slipped by... can run both.... removed some viruses including one named b.exe... was a hell to get rid of.

I have also managed to run Dr. WEB Cure it program I found in a link here... also found some...

Still no improvement with any antimaleware program...
