| 749876 | 2009-02-22 05:35:00 | E Mail to F1 re: MalwareBytes problems. UPDATE Hi evreryone. I’m not sure what I have or haven’t done. To save a lot of time read the preceding posts. I first uninstalled MalwareBytes. I then (un)(re)installed all the options suggested (except Trojan Remover cos it cost money) including the ones I already had using Revo Uninstaller, made sure the program and signature files were updated and ran them one by one. They threw up a few things but nothing like the 66 problems Mbytes had reported, These were removed and a full shutdown and restart was performed followed by a system restore point being established before running the next app. At some stage in all this I had installed and run Comodo Registry Cleaener and that certainly helped - eg the shortcut to System Restore on my Desktop presented the dialogue box in about 42 sec instead of just over three minutes. I had my suspicions about Spybot D & D because every so often it asked permission to change a registry setting so I uninstalled that. I then reinstalled MalwareBytes, did the full deep scan and no problems were reported! So, was it some redundant registry entries, a corrupt installation, the order in which I’d installed the various bits of software – I guess we’ll never know? I’ll give it a couple of days and reinstall Spybot to see if that triggers something, Then of course there’s the Firewall problem to think about – see forums.pcworld.co.nz Oh, and by the way, Flashgot and Flashget have stopped picking up downloads with Firefox 3.xx – durrr so do I uninstall and reinstall them, and is there a better download manager out there? Thanks for the input |

| 749878 | 2009-02-22 05:52:00 | I personally use freeDownloadmanager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/) - works well, never any problems so far. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 749879 | 2009-02-22 22:35:00 | Hi Blam and WainT Thanks for the advice. Now, I've been suing Flashgot cos it says I need it to integrate download managers like Flashget (confusing isn't it?) with Firefox. Do I still need it with the ones you have suggested? Sorry to be a pain, but thanks |

| 749880 | 2009-02-23 04:31:00 | DownThemAll integrates within FF. Personally I reckon its best, but if you like Flashget, then you can continue using it |
