Windows 10: Malwarebytes Free Cannot Set To Manual Starts With Windows

Running v. 3.7.1. It is not in startup programs in task manager but it shows up in taskbar at boot. I can quit it from taskbar. Computer was off for a month or so and when I turned it back on and wanted to run Malwarebytes and scan a file I selected the file and opened with Malwarebytes free already on the machine and as had had happened many times before I was offered "another" premium trial which I always accept and then just let it lapse when it expires and it always goes back to trial. Suggestions appreciated. Malwarebytes is currently back to free

It does not show in processes under task manager.

But it does show up in services and I am unable to change it to manual. All options in the program are disabled.

Malwarebytes and Windows 10

Then I'll suggest you follow these steps:

1. Press Windows Key + R to open the run dialog

2. In the box that comes up, type services.msc and click OK

3. In the list, find Windows Management Instrumentation, and double click it

4. Change startup type to Automatic

5. See if you can open Malwarebytes, if not, do a reboot.

 

Malwarebytes = False Positive??

Recently downloaded Malwarebytes and decided to do a quick scan after noticing random slow downs on my machine.

Now i regularly run a full scan with Windows Defender and KIS using the full rootkit scan option.

when I ran Malwarebytes. it came up with this





I googled this after it was detected and theres not really that much information on it at all. but whatever little information there is, conflicts with one another.

There are some sites that say that it isnt a threat. then there are those that say it is a 'medium' threat and describes how to remove it.

Ive tried using Malwarebytes to remove it more then 5 times. I even went into safe mode to scan and see if i can removed them both with Malwarebytes and both manually following the steps on a website. however. even though Malwarebytes has detected the threat in that particular folder. when i do a file search or look for it manually with folder options set to show all hidden files. I cant seem to find it at all. and the only UL.dll file is located in a Roxio Shared folder.

Windows defender didnt pick anything up. Kaspersky 2012 on a full custom scan with the rootkit option selected didnt pick anything up.

and i have OCD so im starting to panic as i dont want to completely reinstall windows as this install is pretty fresh.

I have no idea how something like this would get past kaspersky and regular scans. Im always careful of the sites i visit otherwise kaspersky would block me from entering the site.

WHAT DO I DO?
