Tried SafeMode - Failed to boot.

Ive now run dism and sfc a few times without any luck... Something went wrong during the malwarebytes uninstall which currently has killed my server and several TB of work content.

Could I get some advise on 1. How can the server be recovered from this? And 2. How could Malwarebytes, a third party app, manage to take down the entire Operating System?


Ive also tried rebuilding bcd boot, this did not help either, but I fear during the uninstall and Windows was removing the entries from registry that something went wrong and the registry is now corrupt.

I managed to get into Desktop. I cant remember the exact phrase, but on the recovery screen I picked option F9, which I believe to be "dont start any anti-virus/anti-malware software".

I now have 11 Red services (stopped)

Malwarebytes is one of them, but so is a lot of other non-related services.


The latest bsod was also caused by mcaw.sys.


I will be going through a process of ensuring malwarebytes leaves this platform as clean as possible and does not return.

I do not believe the platform to be infected at this point so I will not be bothering your experts just yet 


Kind regards,

Hey @Porthos,


I'm back.

So I can confirm that the Support Tool was in action - the server wanted to reboot.

The Server rebooted entirely on its own and started without manual intervention.


However it's been... a few hours now, and the support tool never came back up - could be Windows SERVER related as opposed to anything else..

The server started just fine, everything is back in action - there are nothing left behind of Malwarebytes, and no further BSOD has occurred.


So far, so good..

To protect a server you also have to use Server-software off course, it has been for years like this as far as i know. It's not only for Malwarebytes, its with lots of software forbidden to run Retail versions off the product on an server. But this is always noted in the EULA of the software.

The consumer version is Malwarebytes is not intended to be installed on a file server and is not supported at this time. You may try asking in the business section to see what is available for your situation: Business Section is HERE

I have a few Windows 2008R2 virtualized servers that I use for my personal workstation, home automation, AD and storage and have several kids' and wife's PCs and laptops. I was able to upgrade the Win10 and Win7Pro PCs and laptops but the 2008 servers are prohibited as they are considered 'business' units. Not happy that I purchased 8 copies of premium and while 3.1 worked fine now I cant' upgrade to 3.2 or probably any future version...

I also work with a small home health agency and would like to outfit all the office PCs with the premium version. With their shoestring budget, they could afford to license the 'home edition' but certainly not the 'business' edition and would need more than the max 10 allowed (22). I really wish Malwarebytes would consider a SOHO edition vs. Business/Enterprise version and make the product more affordable for little companies trying to get off the ground... and stop classifying Windows server as a 'business only' product. I think the hard line between home and business is preventing the sale of additional seats.

Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

If the server can be rebooted (or you can get to it off-hours), Combofix might do the trick for you. HiJack this is another option, but it doesn't help you very much if you don't know what to look for and/or what might look suspicious but is actually legitimate.

The Anti-Ransomware protection module is currently disabled for all Windows Servers in the cloud-based console and will be available again with the introduction of the new Windows Server OS tab in the configuration Profile where customers will be able to fine-tune real-time protection per server role.

This will only work if you are running Windows Server and if the target workstations are joined to the domain. You also have to install the Group Policy Management feature in server manager if this is not already installed (step 3). This only works on MSI files, not EXE or any other type.

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is a web server software package designed for Windows Server. Organizations commonly use Microsoft IIS servers to host websites, files, and other content on the web. Threat actors increasingly target these Internet-facing resources as low-hanging fruit for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities that facilitate access to IT environments.

Recently, a slew of activity by the advanced persistent threat (APT) group Lazarus has focused on finding vulnerable Microsoft IIS servers and infecting them with malware or using them to distribute malicious code. This article describes the details of the malware attacks and offers actionable suggestions for protecting Microsoft IIS servers against them.

IIS was first introduced with Windows NT 3.51 as an optional package back in 1995. Since then, it has seen several iterations, improvements, and features added to align with the evolving Internet, including support for HTTPS (secure HTTP) requests. In addition to being a web server and serving HTTP and HTTPS requests, Microsoft IIS also comes with an FTP server for file transfers and an SMTP server for email services.

Despite being less popular than web server packages like Nginx or Apache, Microsoft IIS remains in use at 5.4% of all the websites whose web server is known. Some purported big-name users of Microsoft IIS include Accenture, Alibaba Travels, Mastercard, and Intuit.

While Microsoft IIS has built-in security features, it's essential to keep it updated. Historically, attackers have exploited vulnerable IIS servers that didn't have the latest patches applied. The latest spate of attacks by Lazarus mirrors this pattern, with some other added intricacies.

A May 2023 investigation conducted by South Korean cybersecurity company ASEC confirmed Lazarus threat actors actively scanning for and exploiting vulnerable Microsoft IIS servers. The initial activity centered around DLL side-loading techniques that exploited vulnerable servers to execute arbitrary code. The DLL side-loading attacks work by taking advantage of the way the IIS web server process, w3wp.exe, loads dynamic link libraries (DLLs).

By manipulating this process, Lazarus actors inserted malware into vulnerable servers. Once loaded, the DLL executes a portable file within the server's memory space. This file is a backdoor that communicates with the gang's command and control (C2) server.

A further round of malware attacks involving Microsoft IIS servers targeted the financial security and integrity-checking software, INISAFE CrossWeb EX. The program, developed by Initech, is vulnerable from version 3.3.2.41 or earlier to code injection.

Research uncovered 47 companies hit by malware that stemmed from running vulnerable versions of the Initech software process, inisafecrosswebexsvc.exe. Vulnerable versions of the CrossWeb EX load a malicious DLL, SCSKAppLink.dll. This malicious DLL then fetches a further malicious payload, and the interesting point is that the URL for the payload points to a Microsoft IIS server.

All of this adds up to the conclusion that Lazarus actors are not only exploiting common vulnerabilities to compromise Microsoft IIS servers (as per the previous section), but they are then piggy backing off the trust that most systems place in these application servers to distribute malware via compromised IIS servers.

For example, a CISA advisory from March 2023 describes similar breaches of US government Microsoft IIS servers that arose when hackers exploited a vulnerability for which a patch has been available since 2020. The vulnerability, in this case, was in servers running Progress Telerik, a set of UI (User Interface) frameworks and app development tools. 0852c4b9a8
