I am attaching the usual logs in hopes that a solution may be found to this issue. No infections were found the last time this happened. I have no reason to believe that this laptop is infected. With anti-rootkit scanning disabled, the scan ran fine and was clean. It updated properly, but Windows would report that it had stopped working part way through a scan, if anti-rootkit scanning was enabled. I used MBAM_CLEAN to take out MBAM, with my Bitdefender disabled, rebooted, and reinstalled MBAM. It had real-time protection turned off and just listed "loading" as the database version.
Windows reported that MBAM had stopped working. Today, when I booted up the laptop (hadn't been turned on since), MBAM stopped responding when it was loaded and the tray icon was among the missing. Last week, the last thing I did was to run an MBAM scan and it ran fine. AdvancedSetup helped me with a similar problem about a month ago, which was eventually resolved by installing the new version of MBAM (1025, then in beta) and running a fixlist job.
