I’ve been following as I too wondered how to activate Ver 5 should the need arise so I thought I’d follow the suggestion to contact support. My advice is don’t bother as they had no interest in offering me an up to date key & just said I could activate by signing in - where they didn’t say but I assume it is mymalwarebytes. No doubt the op answer from support will be the same.

Sorry to hear of the theft.
Have you registered for a my.Malwarebytes account? There you can disable/remove the old pc to add the license to the new pc.- 1

Same problem for me & disabling MB & turning off launch at startup, then restarting the laptop worked, then downloading the update from the MS catalogue worked for me. However a new CU preview was released yesterday & these workarounds did not work, I had to disable Net framework 3.5 & do these workarounds to install it.

If you click on the Malwarebytes box (shown in the screenshot) does it open & show your license key & reference number? Mine does.
-
Did you change the printer’s settings to the new router’s SSID & Passphrase? If not then that’s the problem.

Ensure MalwareBytes is still registered as the default AV.

Hello @Doctor9fan
If you're still having issues then please get us some logs to check and see what may be going on. Your old logs are just that, old now that you've done a clean removal already.
To begin, please do the following so that we may take a closer look at your installation for troubleshooting:
NOTE: The tools and the information obtained are safe and not harmful to your privacy or your computer, please allow the programs to run if blocked by your system.
- Download the Malwarebytes Support Tool
- In your Downloads folder, open the mb-support-x.x.x.xxx.exe file
- In the User Account Control pop-up window, click Yes to continue the installation
- Run the MBST Support Tool
- In the left navigation pane of the Malwarebytes Support Tool, click Advanced
- In the Advanced Options, click Gather Logs. A status diagram displays the tool is Getting logs from your machine
- A zip file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your desktop, please upload that file on your next reply
Thank you
Thanks @AdvancedSetup The problem has been resolved by removing GoG.exe from the list of ‘hide notifications when these programs are running’ & all was fine. I added the program again & all remained working.
The thread can be marked as solved.

Thanks nukecad. In my case the notification doesn’t appear so no sign anything is happening.
I’ve narrowed the problem down to Galaxy (GOG) client, if I exit it completely then the update runs, if I remove it from the list of quite notification list then the update works, however if I keep it running in the taskbar but running in the background then the problem returns.
I then removed it from the ‘hide notifications & stop updates when running these programs’ list & added it again & it seems fine.
I’ll continue to monitor the problem.

Update:
I clean installed MB & the update button worked, however while I was adding programs to the exclude list MB closed & the update button doesn't work again.
I've also run the Repair Windows settings option, -
Hello,
Ver: 4.4.4.126
I've just tried to run a manual update check & found the Update button appears to do nothing. Checking further & I've found that no update has occurred since the 3rd of August.
I've reinstalled via the support tool, but the problem remains.
I've included the results.
I'm going to try a clean install of MB.
-
That's now fine. Thank you.

Thanks. Will test later today. .

Hi, just had a notification from MB premium for one of my Big Fish games - MysteryTales_TheReelHorror_CE for Malware.AI.4294300427.
VirusTotal says it is clean.
Thanks.

I’ve sometimes have this when booting a Macrium image. Once the MB on the image has loaded it seems to register as a new device. I just delete the extra one.
-
Often when AV/MB prevents system restore then restoring within safe mode usually works.
-
Thank you.
-
I ran another scan after disabling that setting & nothing was found.
I'll include the zip here.
As one file is larger than the total size it wouldn't allow me to add it here so I've uploaded it to me Mediafire account.
MB.zip -
Thank you. Sorry to hear that wasn’t successful. I hope support can recover the key.
-
Hello.
Did you create an account on the my.malwarebytes.com site using the email address used to purchase the license? If not then I would do so as this will allow you to disable the license from the other PC. -
Thanks, Porthos, yes, I have this enabled (I don't remember doing this but it's possible) I've now disabled this & will scan again.

All 30 detected infections were the same Malware.Heuristic.1003 most were from my Big Fish games extras which were screensavers.
I've added the logs plus the new txt file.
-
Unfortunately I had to recover using a system image last night (due to a (believed) problem after a Windows update) & am currently running a complete scan. Currently the list of suspect files is 27 & while I’m hoping many are pup/pua I’ll see what they are & report back.

I ran a full scan of MlawareBytes premium & it found 7 infections all under: C:\WINDOWS\INSTALLER\, I believe these are a false positive:

Thanks again Porthos. I have a mymalwarebytes account so there’s still that.
