I'm not sure where to post this.. something has caused a huge mess on my Windows XP..
.it must have been malwarebytes.. upgraded today...
I can't even get to anything on it at all..
I've had to do hard shut downs trying to get back to my desktop to uninstall it.. no luck...
it jumps on my taskbar next to AVAST.. then everything freezes.
Help plz.
I'm using my laptop to post this now.
I can't do anything on W-XP screen after I rebooted it.. after A VERY HARD SHUT DOWN using the start button.
I already have Chrome on my desktop.. W-XP
I'll try to get it to run after I reboot W-XP again... when that malwarebyte icon appears.. everything stops dead.

You will probably need to get into Safe Mode and delete the Malwarebytes.
I'm not sure which Key for XP or your PC. It could be F8 but I'm not sure.
I sent Dennis a PM. He recently had to fix his sons HP. So he may remember the exact what, where, whens and keys.

How can I delete Malwayerbytes after I get in safe mode ?
I'll go try to get in safe mode on W-XP..by rebooting.
I'll try anything to get something to work again on it.
On restart hit (tap repeatedly) F8 or F11 till the reboot has completed.
Usually F8 on HP.
Safe mode only loads basic drivers. So screen resolution will possibly be a bit fuzzy but usable.
You should then be able to go uninstall Malwarebytes.
It should not be running in safe mode causing a problem.
