I'm sure that dump would be better served on the mabm forum ?

I'm not sure why mabm is pushing this new product so hard now,
Seems it only hit the market 4-5 weeks ago,
Possibly they what more feedback,
Cheers.

Thanks! The dump was attached for information and wasn't meant as a request for help. I guess that I'll have to stick to v1.75 and alternative products for now. I figure that the driver still has a few bugs to be ironed out .
if enough users are experiencing the same problem.

Hope you like pestering popup messages,
1.75.... produces plenty,
Had to turn it off it was getting so annoying,
Cheers.

I think that "pop ups" must be my middle name! I know what you mean.

Anyway after some digging about it seems hopeful that MBAM 2.0.1.1004 is now working on my machine! I can't really say for sure as the scan hasn't fully completed but no BSOD so far.



Changes made to my machine so far:

Deleted:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Drivers\uziymtuy.sys (Incompatible driver for AVZ AV configured to scan on demand only. The driver wasn't loaded anyway).

Deleted:

Hidden task that didn't appear in Task Scheduler but was shown in the registry. Appears to be a leftover from software that was uninstalled a long time ago.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\iolo Process Governor]
"Id"="{44219ABF-5366-4EBE-A485-671797EE5CDD}"
"Index"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks\{44219ABF-5366-4EBE-A485-671797EE5CDD}]
"Path"="\\iolo Process Governor"

Also there were a couple of invalid entries in msconfig Startup tab for CCC.exe and also Wordweb along with invalid file paths left behind after I'd run the AMD Cleanup Utility a few months ago and installed the graphics card driver without Catalyst Control Centre.

Configured the MBAM scan to exclude two encrypted drives and another non windows partition.

To sum up - one or several of the above seems to have been the cause of the problem but I can't say for sure which one(s).

I'll try different options for the next scan in around a week or so.

All the best.

The public betas were actually the fix for my BSODs. Not had any, or any system slowing/freezing since the 1st beta. A Guy

The last thing I want for a any type of security is a version called Beta :)

Did the extra icons go away too?

Good to know Bill, I followed you to the MBAM forum, but don't quite understand your fix from the poster there about "backup admin account".

I logged into the built in (hidden) admin account

Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable

And ran the update. Which worked. Disabled that account again, logged back into my account, and the problem was gone. Don't ask me why, some permission was reset I'd imagine. All I know is it worked!

The more people that beta test though, the better the product becomes. That is however, if the maker of the software actually responds to the feedback instead of ignoring it.

Virtual machines are fantastic for this purpose. I do not recommend installing beta software on your main pc.
