Windows 2003 SBS locks up during full scan of Malwarebytes.

Been noticing that my machine was slowing a bit with some minor issues with a delay in saving a file. I also recently due to personal budget cuts did not renew my McAfee Total Protection Advanced for small business. I did install Malwarebytes the free version.

I went to do a little maintenance to clean things up. I rarely do anything but do update files, software and on occasion in an emergency download a tool from the web like FileZilla or something like that. Never check email and rarely use for browsing. It is for database work.

I ran a QuickScan with Malwarebytes and found the following virus. See Virus Found on QuickScan. I then deleted the virus. Ran it a second time and Malware said no virus found.

Then ran the full scan and it hung up all of Saturday. Something locked up the machine so I did a hard reboot. Then I ran it again and it hung all of Sunday and I followed up with the same thing. See images. Has anyone out there seen this or know what I can do...?

Consequently, I have the latest Microsoft Action Pack subscription that helps with work, sales to customers and solutions for myself. I wondered if it would be safe to update that box with the current Windows 2008 SBS software on it. Then I looked at the list of software that comes with the Action Pack and wondered if there are any tools that can protect me from Virus Malware and problems like that.  Does anyone know if it is fairly safe to update and if the list attached has an powerful security tools that will protect me without having to purchase another Server Anti-virus Software ?

Thank you both. I am doubting the overheating but I will check. How can I check the temp of a Dell PowerEdge Server 840. I see nothing online?

Tina Good advice I will check it out. Thank you.

Yes the fans seem to be working fine. I am installing Hwmonitor and speedfan to see if it is alright?

Seems to be stable on the temp and fans within spec. Installing hitman pro to see if that gets it.
Hitman found some stuff. I think that win 2003 SBS simply does not like the Malwarebytes. It hits that same file and boom. Blue Screen. I will remove it and keep going. It seems to be something around that. Hitman seems to be keeping it clean. I will be updating this to Win 2008 Standard soon. Thanks for all your help.
