I uninstalled a fake antivrus scan, now when I try to run Malwarebytes, it says I do not have permission?

I still think I have a virus on my computer. It is super slow loading, my Windows Defender also says I don't have permission to run? What can I do? Thanks for any help!

    Reboot into safe mode and run the scan there. Reboot in normal mode and scan again. I HATE the fake AV!!! Have to remove it from peoples PC at least once a week! Drop me an e-mail if you have any questions! Good Luck!

    Run malwarebytes in safe mode.

    Reboot, press F8 while booting, choose safe mode with networking.

    If it fails, try running system restore instead of malwarebytes and scan afterwards.

    Try logging on as administrator, or just check your account status and see if you are a user or administrator. If that doesnt work go to System Restore and set it back a few days if you can. After that Search for "WinUtilities" free download and run that thru and see if it can help find or fix things for you.

    it particularly is an unfair question to ask. you're implying that Obama had condescendingly reported that it replaced into ok for Clinton to proceed working. that may no longer what exceeded off in any respect. He did no longer grant it up. He replaced into placed on the spot by capacity of a reporter who asked him. and then he spoke back as respectfully and with as lots attention as he ought to. What have been the thoughts ? to ignore with regard to the question ? to declare she ought to drop out ? you may then be complaining approximately that. provide the guy a smash.

    When that happened to me, I tried every free and some not free AV programs, and I also tried unhacking software, but a loss of permissions forced me to reformat my hard drive completely. You may have to do that.

    You could try using HiJackThis - free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/

    When you run this, you will receive a log file, upload the log file to this site: www.hijackthis.de/ and it will tell you if there is anything you need to remove on your PC.

    Or you can upload the log to this site: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php%E2%80%A6 and someone there will be able to help you.
