Purchased MBAM won't finish bootups

Hi, I purchased a license and registered my free copy of MBAM. I excluded MBAM from my NOD32 AV, made my copy of Superantispyware my on demand anti-spyware and made it so it has no system tray icon and excluded MBAM in it. I excluded MBAM from my Outpost Firewall. The problem I have since I activated the Protection module in MBAM, is that every couple of times I boot up or re-start my computer it boots up to the end, and when I move the arrow, it turns into a hand and nothing responds. I can't click Ctrl Alt Delete either. I click icons or Start and nothing happens. If I hover the hand over the task bar it turns into the rotating hour glass. The only thing to do is a hard shut down and reboot to see if it boots OK. Does anyone know the solution? Thanks in advance.

 

You made sure you excluded all of these?

For Windows Vista or Windows 7:

* C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
* C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
* C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
* C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
* C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
* C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys



For 64 bit versions of Windows Vista or Windows 7:

* C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
* C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
* C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
* C:\Windows\SysWoW64\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

 

OOPS I forgot to mention I am using XPsp3.
I excluded:
c:\program files\malwarebytes' anti-malware\mbam.exe
c:\program files\malwarebytes' anti-malware\mbam gui.exe
c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\malwarebytes' antimalware\rules.ref
c:\windows\system32\drivers\mbam.sys
c:\windows\system32\drivers\mbam swiss army.sys

Could I have skipped something? Thanks for the help.

 

Well, its either conflicting with Outpost or Nod32. Try disabling Nod32 or outpost and reboot. If you reboot after disabling one and no problems booting we then know whats conflicting.

Update: Looks like it might be Nod32 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=260932

 

im running Eset ss with MBAM pro realtime . Yet i had no problem at all. I didnt exclude any files.
I have been using those for more than 1 year.

 

Hi Ibrad, Thanks for referring me to that other thread. I have posted to the fellow with the same problem as mine. He seems to have solved it. Merry Christmas!
