I'm uninstalling MWB 4.
It was a mistake to try it before the final V4 version just the same as it was with version 3 before. None of V3 releases I tried were acceptable until the final one before V4 was released.
I'm fed up with being stuck on a clunky version that makes my PC freeze for several seconds at intervals while a bug with IPv6 in later versions is ignored.
I keep getting told to try beta versions that refuse to install on my PCs.

You may consider using TCPING.exe https://www.elifulkerson.com/projects/tcping.php
You may consider using NMAP which comes with a utility called NPING
https://nmap.org/download.htmlWhy?
Anyway I don't see how they help if, say, I use a web page that has a script that pings test sites.
Your first link is blocked by MWB anyway.

Bit of a mystery. I would swear that pinging google.com was good earlier on both IPv6 & IPv4
Now IPv4 works but IPv6 fails when you specify google,com / but works when you ping 172.217.1.142
IPv6 fails when you specify yahoo.com / but works when you ping 72.30.35.10
What's the mystery?
IPv4 works. MWB breaks IPv6 pings.
What's mysterious about that?
The real mystery is why they seem totally unable to fix it.

Oh great. They're not fixing it. They're making it worse instead!

Beginning to lose my patience here.
You seem to be fixing new bugs before you fix this

Are you sure it's a full scan and not a threat scan?
Full scan takes very much longer than 2 minutes on my PCs.

Just disable program updates and run the MB version linked in this message:

Seems to be a low priority for them 😒

Give it a try as @exile360 said and let us know how it goes.
Curious which settings you have that you want to retain - for reference as feedback for a future version update.
At present I have 6 Allowed files, 3 Allowed Folders, 4 Allowed websites, 3 Custom protected applications. I also have self protection turned off and scan root kits enabled.

Is there any way I can try this that doesn't delete all my settings?
I'm getting fed up with having to figure out how I want Malwarebytes set up over and over again every time it goes weird.

Oops. Must have pressed wrong button. I'm referring to:

I've tried several times to test this beta on 64 bit Windows 7. It will not install. I can't install and to reboot and try running the installer manually.
But there is no installer, I can only try enabling beta updates and checking for updates.

Hi all,
Thank you for your patience with this issue. We are still working on this and hope to make a fix available in a future update.
In the meantime, if you would prefer not to leave Web Protection disabled, you can revert to an earlier version of Malwarebytes that does not contain this issue. See this post for details.Will you post here when the fix is available?
Or will something about IPv6 pings appear in the "change log" in the post announcing the new version?

I have the same issue, I even submitted a support ticket. This is manifesting on two computers at home and the symptoms are pretty much the same, except it also breaks a lot of web pages for me, I believe the browser tries to open the page using IPV6 and it never completes the connection. disabling web protection fixes the issue.
when I have WebProt enabled IPV6 pings to external addresses don't work.
Interesting. I'm not aware of much else failing. I'm running dual stack so I might not notice if some websites can't connect via IPv6 because the fallback to IPv4 is fairly quick with most browsers.
Maybe you're on an IPv6 only network with NAT64 and DNS64 or a similar arraignment outside your network providing your access to IPv4. AIUI in that case there is normally no fallback to IPv4 when IPv6 fails.

It was just such a total pain in the butt to find that System Restore wouldn't restore my settings.
I always turn off the self protection anyway since I'm always doing System Restores and it's a pain having to remember to turn MB's self protection off first.
-
Why not use the registry like everyone else?
I was not wanting to restore to default, I was wanting to restore to my normal settings that vanished when I uninstalled MalwareBytes while trying to figure out why I couldn't install an old version over the current version on one of my PCs.
-
Where does Malwarebytes store its settings?
I have just been most upset to find that System Restore does not restore MalwareBytes settings if you accidentally mess them up or delete them.

Extra information:
When it's not working it's as if the TTL on the outgoing pings is changed to a really low value.
I can ping things on my LAN by their public IPv6 address but not anything out on the Internet.
-
Yes!
Switching Web Protection off fixes the problem.
Output from your batch file is attached.
The output is completely independent of whether or not Web Protection is enabled.
Just the line with the current time of day in it changes.

Results from support tool mb-support-1.5.4.760.exe attached:

A few weeks ago both my 64 bit Windows 7 PCs lost the ability to ping external IPv6 addresses.
For a while I blamed my ISP until I discovered IPv6 ping worked fine from a Linux machine.
Now I have investigated and discovered that MBAMService.exe is the cause of the problem.
If I kill MBAMService.exe I can ping until MBAMService.exe finishes automatically restarting when IPv6 ping stops working again.
Please can this be fixed.

So you've registered at my.malwarebytes.com but your new license isn't showing at my.malwarebytes.com ?

Maybe a pop up message is needed rather than silently doing nothing.
MalwareBytes 4 messing with IPv6 ping
in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Posted
On re-reading what Maurice Naggar wrote it looks like he doesn't really know much at all about IPv4 and IPv6.
He seems to be puzzled by being able to ping an IPv4 address and not getting an IPv6 error!
I wonder if the same level of ignorance prevails throughout everyone at MalwareBytes.
It certainly would explain a lot.
