Anti malware toolkit will not load

[xboxhaxorz]

I have a XP SP3 machine with malware bytes, spyware guard, spyware blaster all real time and ccleaner and spybot installed on my machine along with KIS IS. i just got the toolkit and it installed fine but when i click it it does not load. i have tried an uninstall and reinstall to no avail

What version of the Anti-Malware Toolkit do you have? If it's 1.12 or lower, you need to update.

[xboxhaxorz]

its the latest version from the site

[Tarun]

Just to confirm, you have version 1.13?

What errors are you encountering? Do you have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed?

[xboxhaxorz]

i have the latest framework. no errors, it installs fine but when i try to launch the app it does nothing, i tried an older version 1.12 as well as the latest version 1.13 and had the same issue.

Does the application (GUI) show up at all?

Also, are there any infections present on your system? If so, you may want to make a copy of the Anti-Malware Toolkit to your desktop and rename it to amt.exe and see if it runs/appears then.

i am pretty sure there are no infections on my system, i keep it very clean. i tried the renaming and still nothing loads no gui not anything. i even tried the zip and installer and i get the same issue

I'm not sure of any other reasons why the Anti-Malware Toolkit will not load on your system.

Would you mind posting full PC specs?

Would a hijackthis log help? I too have no idea why it would not load. I never had this type of issue before.

Sure, go ahead and post a HijackThis log.

Well, I have a question/comment (may be totally wrong).

Question -

Does the PC have HT (Hyper-Threading Technology, i.e. "virtual dual-CPU")? Note my terminology may not be entirely accurate...

Comment -

If so and you don't have the BIOS set correctly (there's a setting for it in there), it will run at an extreeemeeely slow speed and may take foooreeever to load anything (if at all). This is what my brother's problem was; battery dead, so shut-down reset it to "go slow mode".

Just a thought...

hello

make uninstall for Anti-Malware

and download Anti-Malware 1.44

Greetings to you

First of all I believe that MBAM is 'Freeware' and links to filesharing sites for it are not necessary, second of all the latest version I believe is 1.45.
