You're seriously mistaken if you think that MBAM actually messed up your
machine. I've run it on close to 200 machines and not had any problems
that could not directly be attributed to the malware corrupting a file.

You've already admitted that it found malware on your machine, so that
means your machine was trashed to start with. I advocate a
wipe/reinstall method of cleaning machines, but I use the various tools
to get them back online long enough to backup files that are then
scanned by other tools - I still wipe the machines.

As for Your entire description and your "assumption", seriously, you're
mistaken if you can't understand how malware can corrupt a system easily
so that when you remove the malware you end up with problems.

What do you suppose happens to file that are part of the OS when they
are replaced with the malware code and not just appended to the code?
What happens with your computer when a critical OS file is deleted
because it's infected? Come on, you've got to understand the basics of
what happens or you're not going to really understand your computer.

So, you said you ran MBAM, it detected malware on your computer, you it
broke things, you said you restored an image and all is happy again....
Sounds like you're still compromised with something you don't see.

You do understand that no single (or even 2 or 3) anti-malware tools
detect everything out there right now, right?
