Sorry, Boggin, but I do not understand "there will be no help from me."

Satchfan is away from Internet for 36 hours and he asked me to send him the Malwarebytes Antimalware log but could not find a TXT log to send.

He then asked me to look in a specific place but I can not even find a Malwarebytes Antimalware folder there.

I am somewhat confused with Malwarebytes programs.  Are there two of them?  One Malwarebytes Anti-virus and the other Malwarebytes Antimalware?

I went to try to specifically download Malwarebytes Antimalware but most of the FREE downloads did not work.  I finally went to Major Geeks and got a download, but it seems to be Malwarebytes AntiVirus.  I installed and ran (again?) but there seems to be no log, again, where Satchafan told me to look.

Also, I could not find "tools, folders, options" in Windows explorer.  What am I doing incorrectly?

Here is what Satchfan told me:

Show hidden Files and Folders

open Windows Explorer, (Windows key+E)
at the top, click on Tools>Folder options
click on the 'View' tab
under 'Files and Folders', place a check in Show hidden files, folders and drives
You can then find the log at the following location:

C:\Users\Morgan Pierce Parker\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs

Boggin:
What I meant was that while he is helping you, I can't/shouldn't give you additional advice.

I can't use my Win 7 machine just yet as it's running a full scan with the free version of MBAM and things are a bit different in Win 10.

I've copied this from a Google link but it isn't how I remember doing it.

Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization.

Select Folder Options, then select the View tab.

Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.


I've done a scan with MBAM also on this Win 10 machine but as it didn't find anything, then I assume that is why it hasn't made a log.

Has your scan found anything ?

EDIT - Scroll down to the Win 7 part in this article which looks more straight forward and has pics - https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/

FreeCat:
Thanks, Boggin.  The HOW TO GEEK was very clear on how to show the files.  But, still no Malwarebytes folders in USERS folder.
This Malwarebytes company give me the creeps.  Always asking for something.  Too many similar but different names for things.

Just not good and clear marketing.  Once machine is fixed, I think I want to go to Emisoft.  What do you think of Emisoft?

Re this, I will just wait till Satchfan gets back.  Thanks for your help.

Boggin:
Don't scan with anything else unless your helper instructs you.

Did your last MBAM scan find anything ?

Did you follow the full path from Users ?

FreeCat:
Yes.  Many "Website Blocked" items and eight old Scan Reports.  Wait!

I just realized that if I check "Scan report" I can view that report and EXPORT IT.

Maybe that is what Satchfan wants.  I will post those.

Thanks, again, Boggin!
