    I'm really not as ignorant as it may be beginning to seem lol - I'm not familiar with tools like this.

    I guess I was supposed to extract the boot.wim?
    No, no - not at all. :) You're just running a light OS in temp. memory. The MBAM program is already installed in the environment. No need to extract anything. Just double-click on the MBAM icon on your desktop in the rescue environment, and it should run.

    haha thanks.

    I'm just saying the icon doesn't exist, and the only thing I have in E:/sources is boot.wim

    (My desktop is also different - it's orange and yellow geometry).

    Okay - you downloaded the wrong one - you got the W8, and we need the W10. It will have a blue desktop with a wolf on it, as I posted in the picture. So sorry. Please download the correct one and we'll continue.

    Ok, I'm in the right one now with an updated MBAM.

    I expected to be able to direct it to a specific drive or something, but I just had choices between the types of scans (I did select to search for root kits in the settings).
    It's currently taking it's time searching for updates again for some reason as a first step.

    I am not sure; there may be some minor limitations using it in this manner. (I haven't done it myself )

    Note to self: read the descriptions

    I suspect something may be awry with this, the check for updates step has been running for 13 minutes...

    Edit: restarting it a few times got it going for some reason.
