    I put it under C:/ And it let me install it, I installed it and it made a icon on desktop I went to open it and it wouldn't open, it made the hourglass cursor then went away after a second and never opened, I tried renaming it to
    SAS after that and it did the same thing...

    The thing that worries me... Is it does it to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    also......

    Hopefully someone can help me XD

    Thanks in advance.

    First off, Welcome to Major Geeks.
    There are some forms of malware that can cause that type of action. They can prevent downloading updates, going to AV scanner sites, etc.
    Have you used any type of registry cleaner? If so, may have removed something needed. If not, you may want to post in the Malware forum and get checked out.

    ok...it seems that you are following the Read and Run Me

    You MUST follow the directions exactly. It does not tell you to install Superantispyware to C:/

    That is for MGTools only.

    SAS should be downloaded to where you download you files. Instructions for downloading and installing: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=127217

    Well it wasn't letting me install... so i put it under c:/ and it let me install it, and that's another thing, I can't go to the malwarebytes website.... it seems to be down for me....... it happened that one day after i used malware bytes and removed a infected registry folder... Did i do anything?

    Did you try renaming the .exe file for SAS before installing it to SAS.EXE as suggested?

    Sorry for jumping in like that, LauraR. Say the post in software and did not know they had also posted elsewhere.

    No prob. :) I had just answered another post about MGTools, so figured OP was following R&R Me.


    abombapac...I'm out of suggestions for you. Sorry. Hopefully someone can help you out.

    Are you going through the READ & RUN ME steps in Malware? If so, I would suggest you go through step by step and post the results and logs you can in a new thread in Malware.

    As part of the instructions in the beginning:
