I checked it, and it isn't blocking it but I disabled it and still didn't work.

Um Is this bad and if not is it the reason why i cant play rust?
Open a command prompt as administrator and run:
[B]sfc /scannow[/B]
I don't know whether or not that's directly related to your troubles running Rust, but something's definitely wrong.

Malwarebytes did delete somthing called pcprotect
The Rust subforum isn't the place to troubleshoot malware removal, but you should Google how to remove the remnants of the malware you've got, WebProtect.

Is that why I cant play rust? is the malware PCProtect Blocking it
I don't know, but it's fucking with your machine. It could be doing anything, especially since it seems to be only partially removed.

I looked up how and it is like pages long if I was to PM you do you think you could help me remove it I know you said this isn't the place to ask for help for malware but it might be the reason behind rust not working.
Considering I'd be Googling how to remove it, because I've never dealt with it myself, no, I can't really help you remove it.
You could ask for help in the Hardware & Software section of the forum, which is the place for software and hardware help as well as all general-computer-related discussions. Warning, you're stepping out of the Rust subforum in doing that and dealing with people who were here before Rust existed. Be polite and stick to the plan (dealing with the malware) and leave Rust out of discussion, and you should be fine.
