Just a little info on Malwarebytes antimalware {MBAM} and Superantispyware {SAS}

These are two of the best Virus/Trojan/spyware/malware/etc removal programs available at the moment,

But to get the best from both.

MBAM should be run in normal mode,

A quote from MBAM forum.

MBAM works from safemore but it is not designed to work that way .

MBAM will work better from regular mode both in terms of what it detects and what it can remove .

Doing a safemode scan with MBAM should only be done when a regular mode scan fails .

SAS can be run in any mode,

But its best to remove all temp Internet files and cookies before you scan, {this speeds up the scanning time}

Sometimes a infected computer will not let you download from security sites,

Here is the way to get around this problem.

Rename MBAM/SAS download rabbits foot.exe or something you can remember before you download it then run it {install}

If it will not run after the install then do this,

Go to the MBAM/SAS program folder here
C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware/Superantispyware/ {double click the folder}

rename mbam.exe/ to rabbits foot.exe {its RUNSAS for SAS}
double click on rabbits foot.exe to start MBAM.or SAS
scan.. remove detected items...once clear you can rename the executable file back to mbam.exe or RUNSAS

Hope this helps someone
