This is the only thing that's ever worked for me on a PC.

Free and clean download.

Good luck in any event!

Can you download to a USB device that has a Read-Only switch or burn MB to a CD and install from there?

1. Go to My computer click on C: drive
2. go to Program Files and scroll down to the Malwarebytes folder and open it.
3. There should be a folder called Chameleon, open it
4. Run the Malwarebytes-chameleon.exe by double clicking.

This should open Malwarebytes and allow you to do a scan.

for the net, then it becomes just a data drive and no longer an Sys os drive.

Then scan it with your antispyware and return it to the other machine.

Here a kit for under 10$ that will handle sata drives and old pin IDE drives for both laptops and PCs.
