It's Critical to Resolve Blue Screen of Death Errors

In the majority of cases, you will encounter mbamchameleon.sys BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (Malwarebytes), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to mbamchameleon.sys Blue Screen of Death errors. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.


GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a mbamchameleon.sys Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your mbamchameleon.sys issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the mbamchameleon.sys error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Malwarebytes (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Malwarebytes software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many mbamchameleon.sys error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

Download mbamchameleon.sys Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying mbamchameleon.sys to your appropriate Windows system directory. Malwarebytes typically does not release Malwarebytes SYS files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing mbamchameleon.sys and all other SYS files for Malwarebytes. An incorrectly installed SYS file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
