alright... i google searched and cannot seem to answer how to run malwarebytes from my usb stick before my problem begins. i know how to change the boot order sequence - set it to boot from usb first. a friend of mine also suggested that it can be the MBR... as it sounds like it could be a boot record issue?
run it through CMD right? how do i do that? i installed the program via my external hard drive...
mmm no.
You run it like u'd run any other application you would usually install, start>all programs>Malwarebytes.
Remember we are doing the virus scan addressing the login problem, don't worry, a few of us are attending to different problems at a time, i myself got lost. :P
remember that the problem is the computer not being able to boot up past the windows loading screen, therefore i do not have access to the start menu. I installed malwarebytes to my external harddrive and during installation, updated it's virus definitions. i am able to get to command via pressing f8 during boot up and selecting dells "recover your pc" menu.
My bad, well my expertise only runs to the virus part of it, one of the other members must have helped you with this part of it.
Sorry i can't be of any assistance any further.
This is getting frustrating... I don't know what drive letter my external harddrive is in order to run mbam.exe (malwarebytes) on this computer. i've tried going down all the alphabet letters
Hello Nano3,
Open up a copy of Device Manager. In the bottom pane, it shows a graphic, which makes it very easy to find which volumes have which letters.
Hope this helps,
