thatnks jonathan. i now know my drive letter is D for the external harddrive... now, as said before. i have installed malwarebytes on this external harddrive. how can i run the program via my external harddrive using CMD

Why do you need to?

Changed to my external hard drive D: then typed in mbam.exe and got a "mbam.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

what does this mean?

what does this mean?

Again why are you trying to run it from cmd?


Mbam is not an OS file and probably D;\ is not defined in path. You also may have to run it as admin.

is there another way to run it? like i said before i am not able to log onto windows to run the program the old fashion way. so running it from cmd seems to be the best case? How do i want to run the program to check for viruses on the computer?

Remove the external hard, then go into safe mode, then plug the drive back in ...
can you see the .exe now?

 

[Nano3]

When i turn on the computer, i press f8 so that i can select Safe Mode... The computer loads up the files and begins to boot into safe mode... After a couple of seconds, i get a black screen with only the mouse cursor. i am able to move the cursor around.

So there is nothing in the corners?

 

[Jacee]

When the drivers are loading in safe mode, do you see either one of these?
TDSS
TDL3

 

[Nano3]

nnothing in the corners... no TDSS or TDL3

Running MBam from a command prompt....

regsvr32 mbamext.dll
regsvr32 ssubtmr6.dll
regsvr32 vbalsgrid6.ocx
regsvr32 zlib.dll

From there save mbam-setup.exe to a flash,usb,jump drive or CD. Now transfer it to the infected machine, then install and run the program.
If you cannot transfer to or install on the infected machine, try running the setup (installation) file directly from the flash drive or CD by double-clicking on mbam-

setup.exe so it will install on the hard drive.

[Nano3]

regsvr32 mbamext.dll
regsvr32 ssubtmr6.dll
regsvr32 vbalsgrid6.ocx
regsvr32 zlib.dll

I'm guessing i need to type that into CMD?...
opened up command and typed

D:
regsvr32 mbamext.dll

A window popped up...

"Regsvr32 - The module "mbamext.dll" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found"

 

[Jacee]

This is what you need to run from a command prompt (see instructions in link):
mbam-setup.exe

 

[Nano3]

Saved mbam-setup to my external harddrive. got it running on the new computer, during installation i get a message...

"mbam.exe -unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem"

I click ok - The message appears three more times.

after the installation, malwarebytes gives me the option to check for updates, and to run after i hit finish. both items are checked.

after clicking finish, nothing happens...

Ackk!

See if this will download and install:

Or

Here it is, along with a command prompt
VBRun60sp6.exe installs Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 run-time files

This is going to be a long way around, but since she has no CD/DVD drive to boot from, you'll have to do this with your computer. Then start her computer from the external drive using the Avira rescue.
