Ok, cool.
fyi - I'm sure they will ask you to start a new thread in their "Malware Removal forum" - that's the way their forums work...
I have no idea what they can do about Ubuntu problems...but, see what they have to say...
How did you post there if Windows and Ubuntu don't work with malwarebytes.org? - Another PC, phone, ...??? (just curious)
best of luck with this
Try reinstalling it with Revo Uninstaller. Backup your Registry, run a CCleaner and ONLY remove keys related to Malwarebytes, now open "regedit" and search for "Malwarebytes" or any keyword associated with Malwarebytes and delete them.
Make a Restore Point, then download Everything and search for "Malwarebytes" or any keyword associated with Malwarebytes and once again delete them.
Install Malwarebytes again.
Try adding it to startup:
NoteDon't forget to backup your serial number
Actually have you even tried this, go to the Bottom Left of your Taskbar where your Notification Area Icons are, click the arrow if you don't see Kaspersky, Right Click on Kaspersky and just click on Start with Windows
If you still don't see Malwarebytes in Notification Area, I suggest you do this:
Notification Area Icons - Reset
_________________________________________________________________________
EDIT: You could also try this:
Open Regedit
Head over to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Right Click on an Empty Area and select New - String Value
In the New String Value menu that opens type "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware"
Double click the new string and in the menu that opens type "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe" /starttray WITH THE QUOTES.
If none of the 3 methods I posted helps, I honestly don't know what you could do.
Hope this helps :)

The machine is currently being safe mode scanned, but once I have it back up, I will follow your thoughtful instructions to the letter. Should I install in my quai-admin account "owners" or as the user account. I have never set up a true administrator account? Thanks again for your help!!

Hi Glenn,
Mmm. This sounds most odd. Since you posted in the Malwarebytes forum, I would suggest following any advice there before tinkering further with suggestions made here.
If all else fails, then I agree with Greg that a format + clean install is the best option. We can help you through that, so no need to worry there.

Hello,
As mentioned I can connect to malwarebytes forum. I explained my situation and a response came that I should post it in the Remove Infections Section. I have run everything I have at the computer and done it again in safe mode and it says I am not infected. But I still can not connect to malwarebytes.org on my W7 or Ubuntu machine.
I ran the Avast and it gave me a complete clean bill of health in addition to the other stuff, norton, superantispyware, mse and malwarebytes itself.
Is there anyone with an idea about if I am infected or not or what is going on. I am totally confused
Thanks for all the assistance and to any future help!
Glenn
More information. It seems as if the PC 2009 threats in Malwarebytes software is a false reading and a known issue with Comodo! It was suggested that the problem may be a DNS setting. My wife's laptop on wifi, WPA2 to my router connects to malwarebytes.org with no problem. The Emmisoft Emergency Kit I ran last night and another Norton show no threats...
Hope this new info will help! Help..... I am now mostly concerned about why I can not connect.
Glenn
Hi Glenn,
I'm a bit confused.....is it only the Malwarebytes site you cannot connect to? Do you get redirection from other sites?

Golden
Hello Golden,
This is what I keep getting.
Same on the ubuntu machine, not on my home wireless network. I have just finished removing Malwarebytes from my machine to see it that helps as nothing else does.
Found folders and files that Revo Pro didn't get in the appdata of admin, user, default, etc and removed those. Ccleaned it, checked to see that the process from it are not running. I do not think IMHO that I am infected, but I really don't know.
Thanks for you continuing support!
Glenn
