Hatty, try renaming your antispyware program. Sometimes simply renaming Malwarebytes to "Blastthem" or such is enough to get by the bug. Other option is to pull hte hard drive and connect it to another computer that has Malwarebytes, as a secondary drive and then run the antispyware against the drive that way. Just remember to update the antispyware right before you run it. I have seen malwarebytes update their definition file like 10 times in one day! Unfortunately, I have to debug PCs all day. With 5-600 computers here, they are always getting into trouble and management won't do anything about it.
