I forgot to add... (couldn't edit the first post) Also afflicted with a very noticeable slow start up / boot process since MB 3.0. Even had the irritating startup popup messages regarding protection etc, but that just wasn't a big deal to me and surely would be fixed with the next release, which it did. Regarding the slow start up I'm really curious if/how this will be resolved. Compared to issues other users have, I guess these are rather "minor" problems, nonetheless still annoying. Sig

Hello Cecile, yes, still same behaviour. Message sent in. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for the hint. After reading the whole thread, I think, I'll wait until a fix will be available, Then, before applying the fix, I deactivate "Ransomeware Protection" right before the next backup to get rid of the remnants. If the folder is somehow "clean", I will apply the fix. I prefer this approach, 'cause as somebody mentioned in that thread, this workaround only worked once for him. So, I don't want to waste that opportunity. You know, if I do it now and the workaround wouldn't work again, the folder gets filled up again before a fix arrives. Anyhow, this isn't a huge problem for me, as I have enough space left on that specific drive and the backups don't get bloated anyway. Thanks

Thank you throkr! Forgot to unmask "protected system folders" ...and yes, unfortunately I do have a few GB-sized files in the "SVI" folder. Some of them are most likely related to Macrium Reflect, as I compared the timestamp of the files in the "SVI" folder and those on the backup drive. Strangely enough not all of my backups (only a few backups from January) had resulted in "leftovers". Oh well, going to keep an eye on it and wait for the fix.

Hi, I am also using Macrium Reflect with MWB 3.0.6.1469, but thankfully I don't have any issues so far. I tried to check the files inside a SVI folder but couldn't find such folder. (OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) Maybe someone point me to the exact location of the "System Volume Information" folder, so I could check?

Hello, I don't know if anybody else is having this issue... OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Malwarebytes Version: 3.0.6.1469 Component Package: 1.0.50 After booting into the OS and start of Malwarebytes, MbamService establishes a https connection which remains "forever" (until shutdown) A connection upon startup is absolutely plausible, but sooner or later it should terminate that connection. There is no reason to be permanent connected, right? You might check it yourself... Open the command prompt (with administrator privileges), type in "netstat -b" (without the quotes). You should see at least one connection related to mbamservice with the protocol type, your local address, the remote address and the status. Under status you might see "close_wait" which means what it says, it's in the process to close. Well, on my machine that one connection never does close. Same status remains for hours, actually, until I shut down my pc. I can observe several additional mbamservice-connections from time to time while my machine is running, but they do terminate correctly. Other than that, I haven't spotted any further issues so far with the 3.0.6.1469 release. Thank You
