total 4 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 ....but Malwarebytes was uninstalled (with the official uninstaller) more than 1 year ago , and I removed manually each and every registry key. Where should I look further more for the remains of Malwarebytes? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 4,189 Posted March 7 Administrators Share Posted March 7 I don't see any issue in the logs. ESET is installed and running, MBAM is not there whatsoever. The only reference to MBAM is a record from 2021 in logs: Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Ransomware\MBAMService.exe.

Verify all MBAM related Win services have been removed. Also as I recollect, the MBAM uninstaller does not remove its associated drivers. Also, this - C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Ransomware\MBAMService.exe - would be indicative of MBAM Anti-Ransomware being installed at some time. This is a separate product from the main MBAM offering and I believe no longer available. Edited March 8 by itman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
total 4 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 (edited) All the drivers were removed, as per this list: There is absolutely nothing in Program Files, Program Files(x86), Program Data or registry key related to Malwarebytes.

Solution total 4 Posted March 8 Author Solution Share Posted March 8 I just searched "PC" for "Malwarebytes" and was an empty file "Malwarebytes Anti-exploit" in C:\Program data\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu\Programs. Most likely this was the issue. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
