Ok I renamed mbam.exe to mam.exe and then installed Spybot Search and 
destroy. I ran Malwarebytes, Spybot, Nod32 and Microsoft security essentials 
while running Firefox...............all programs were and are running fine 
except Malwarebytes which locked up. So I renamed the file to 
mbam.exe....................guess we see the problem.........but why?
