Malwarebytes Error

Post by Sonic Glitch »

Each time I try to run Malwarebyes on my Laptop, I get "vbAccelerator SGrid II Control: runtime error 0" followed by "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: runtime error 440 -- Automation Error" -- any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't know with that exact error, but try restarting the computer in safe mode and then running Malwarebytes again

How do I get to safe mode again? My device does not seem to offer "Reboot in Safe mode" so I assume I hit something in the start-up sequence?

It should be F8 on boot up and it'll be an option.

No dice. The same error appeared, and Norton spent 2hrs(ish) "preparing for scan" in safe mode, rather than actually scanning.

Try uninstalling Malwarebytes and then reinstalling it.

If it helps, it happened after I tried to run a scan using MalwareBytes from a flash drive.

Edit: Reinstalled. Alright, let's see how this goes.

I blame Norton. Even if its not Norton's fault... it is. Cause Norton is always to blame. :mrgreen:

Well, generally it's only Nortons fault if Norton is trying to run. Mostly because it burns through RAM so much, it makes it very hard to do much of anything.
