    Is there a portable version of MBAM?


    I would prefer a portable version, but if I have to, I'll download the .exe version of MalwareBytes. Just don't want anything sideloaded when I install.

    LOL.
    No problem.
    I thought it was a case of deja vu.

    Yes, please follow ALL of the steps for a CLEAN REINSTALL and please be sure to reboot again after the reinstall.

    Then:
    To minimize confusion, I suggest that we continue over at SF.com here, please.

    Is there a portable or at least unbloated version of MBAM?

    Note, that not all portable versions are portable per say. Several portable tools install a driver, that remains running, even when you no longer use it, and it could cause conflicts. Like Norton, even Emsisoft used to.

    Some portable: Dr.Web CureIt, Kaspersky TDSSKiller, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, MWAV, RogueKiller.

    Hi:

    Are you the same person as the OP here, by any chance, because the posts sound identical?Is there a portable version of MBAM? :)

    The LUA issues were supposed to have been fixed with this current version, but AFAIK that particular error message you show is something entirely different (see below).

    I know you said you reinstalled, but it's not clear from your post if you used the "best practices" method for a truly clean reinstall. And it sounds as if you did some self-medication by installing mbam-rules, which ought not to be necessary.

    To start, if rebooting the system does not fix the error, then I suggest carefully following all the steps here: MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x.
    Be sure to reboot when the removal tool prompts, and it's a good idea to do so again AFTER the reinstall.

    Please note: To work correctly, MBAM Consumer should be installed and configured from a Windows Admin account. It can then be run under other, LUA accounts and the new version should fix the previous issues with LUA updating, etc..

    IMPORTANT: The particular error you show in your screenshot CAN be due to the presence of a rootkit, or it could be another security program blocking the driver.
    AFAIK It is NOT related to the LUA updating issues that were on the changelog for version 2.2.0.1024.

    SO: Please let us know if that proper clean reinstall does or does not fix the issue. We can go from there.

    Thanks,
    MM
