"Safe" for years and now (need help, hijack log incl)...

[user1997]

I removed Viewpoint Media Player.

I ran ATF Cleaner.

I downloaded and installed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, but I could not update. It says the version is 2008-02-10. I tried all three mirrors twice and no luck, and allowed it through Zonealarm. I'll try tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help.

I'll try tomorrow.

Will be here

Tried it again and couldn't update. Ideas?

[user1997]

And what should I do about the registry size warning? Are these programs messing with it? Should I raise the limit? I remember seeing something where I can control the registry size, but after digging around for a few minutes I don't remember where it is.

If I remember right.

1. Right click on the "My Computer" icon normally located in the upper left corner of your screen.
2. Select the "Properties" option on the menu.
3. Select the "Advanced" tab (far right tab) on the "System Properties" tabbed dialog box.
4. Click on the "Performance Options" button.

I don't remember the settings for 2000 but I think it is 150% of you memory.

Damn I was in there too! I didn't think the registry control was one button away. I think that rule you quoted is for the Virtual Memory. Mine is set at 1024mb so I'll leave it. I'm sure I changed that awhile ago after reading an article on it.

My current registry size is 37mb. My maximum is set to 55mb. I'm going to just about double it to an even 100mb.

Why can't I update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware?

Why can't I update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware?

Might be your firewall, disable it before updating. After which enable it.
