Can you cite somewhere that the MBAM developers have said that it should be run only in normal mode? I have found that MBAM runs faster and seems to catch more mice in safe mode. I'll gladly change my method if you can show me that they've said such a thing. Okay, I just did a search on MBAM's website and cannot come up with anything saying to not run MBAM in safe mode, so please give me a URL pointing the way. Thanks.

Nobody says it shouldn't be run in Safe Mode. There are times when it may actually execute in Safe Mode but fail to execute in Normal Mode. However, some of the internal program algorithms are designed specifically for Normal mode. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

I ran it 3 times. First time found 2 items. Second time found 4 items. 3rd time found zero. I then was able to reboot and update and run in normal mode. Does anyone know if this completely removed the virus or do I have something lingering. An IT person directed me to this site: http://windowsprotection.net/how-to-remove-trojanfraudpack-trojan-fraudpack-removal-guide/ It located many items but would only remove them if I bought the product from PC Doctor. Anyone familiar with this? ....Joyce >

It is a trojan and NOT a virus and MBAM will remove the "trojan". -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
