  1. SOLVED: Update not working 6/5/18 8:51 am - Setup just hangs - rebooted - just locks up everything - forced setup to close - caused Windows to stop. Rebooted in safe mode - restarted update install - hang again - went to close and notice said it would stop install - clicked 'no' to not close the program install - then it magically worked.

  2. All 3 of my computers were affected with no protection (or disabled) on MB. Yet there were other strange things going on as well. Not sure if it was a Malwarebytes Premium or Avast free update that started it all. I didn't have high resource usage, but couldn't open programs, etc. Avast ui wouldn't load and upon repair it said Malwarebytes was an infection. Also, just recently I started getting the MB couldn't load the rootkit driver.

    I have what I believe was the latest updates package 1.0.3804 - v3.3.1.2183 - components 1.0.262 (MB Premium) - for windows 7 64-bit

    Using Revo uninstaller I uninstalled Avast (and all associated registries) in advanced mode. Rebooted and MB is all good. 

    Two questions:

    Does anyone really know if it was MB or Avast that created the havoc?

    Does anyone have recommendations for an Avast free replacement? Bitdefender OK?
