I ran their UninstallCleanup tool (tried to upload it, but it ran into an error).
![]() I got an error msg telling me that a legacy unsupported version was detected and to uninstall it as the new version cant be installed otherwise. I had uninstalled what showed up in Programs and Features, and nothing else was in there named MB. I ran CCleaner.found some stuff. Also cleaned up the browsers extensions, getting rid of anything I didnt need. While most of the popups disappeared, I still couldnt install a fresh version of MB. I ran Avast.found a couple things, but still unable to install MB. I also ran SuperAntiSpyware, and just found a bunch of tracking cookies. Still no joy. Any guidance would be muchly appreciated Thanks, dondd. Yes, I did download it from MajorGeeks, and I started the whole process in safe mode. ![]() Also, Im going to try installing and running ComboFix which is generally more effective than some other anti-malware utilities. The 3 was associated with my Avast AVI, and denied access to ESET. The pc runs much better, and got rid of a bunch of popups (I installed UBlock Origin). So, all is well except it still thinks theres a legacy version of MB installed, and wont install a new version until I delete it, which is what started the whole process. If anyone has a suggestion as to how I can find the legacy version, please let me know. Thanks for all the responses. I also ran ComboFix, but it didnt help the MB issue either. You downloaded the newest version and it refuses to install because it detects an old legacy version. Malwarebytes Cannot How To Remove TheAlso say, you dont know how to remove the legacy version to install the new version. They will probably have you download something that cleans up the remnants of old versions. Most security suites or programs now have a tool to help completely remove their product. I will follow up on those latest suggestions and post the results. Regarding slow, sluggish operation.after running the online scan, CCleaner, and a few others, the pc is flying.
