Possible problem? cannont run malwareby

Hello all,

This is a pentium 4 machine running XP home edition.

I am posting because I am getting the feeling something is wrong because some programs are not working anymore.

Originally we used malwarebytes anti malware; it has since stopped working. You double click on the exe and nothing happens, no processes, no program running in task manager.

So I uninstalled it and ran a clean up utility; I then updated Java and ran CC cleaner.

Next I attempted to install Microsoft Security Essentials. It will install but when you attempt to open the program, nothing happens just like with malwarebytes. You also cannot right click on a file to scan-on-demand; an error is output saying it cannot be scanned.

I think there is something going on underneath keeping anti-virus/malware programs from being run.

Attached are my logs that I could obtain; as I said I cannot run Malwarebytes to obtain a log.

thanks again

 

I ran hitmanpro and deleted all 764 items as you asked, I forgot to save the log - I ran hitmanpro again afterwards and saved a log from the run after deleting all the files.

MGtools was able to completely run; the log is attached
