This issue has be clarified long time ago: MBAM it is not an antivirus replacement.
I do not understand why a staff member (Maurice Nagar) would advice other way:
"As to antivirus, the Malwarebytes 3 Premium is a replacement for antivirus. You can if you wish just have our Premium program."

@lock are you on the latest DB version ?
Can you please send me a screen shot of your About page.
What I was trying to say was that when I received the faulty update I had Web protection disabled (I have it disabled since day one).
As long as the faulty update was for the Web shilled, I expected not to be affected, but yet I had the same symptoms like everybody else : high ram usage.

... still experienced the high RAM usage.
Any idea why???

Malwarebytes is designed to run alongside AV programs as it is not an AV program.
There is no antivirus company which will advice you to run MBAM along their product.
At best, MBAM is being "tolerated" at your own risk and you have to create so called "exceptions" in both programs.

Good grief, the 'fix' was just to release a patch that wasn't broken. Well done? okay then.
...and most likely the previous patch, renamed.

and I'll be demanding to know what steps they plan to implement to make sure this can never happen again.
And what??? You will get a nicely formulated answer.
MBAM already had 2 major screw ups so far, on top of never-ending problems with version 3. In addition , has never been tested by any third party , so we are using it based on faith.
Is cheaper just to pray before turning on your PC, would have the same effect.

Not a happy camper on this. My wife is away, and I have to work this over the phone with her.. Do I even need this program?
"Do I even need this program?"
This is the right question.
How many time did you get a detection from MBAM before your main antivirus????
Is MBAM tested by any third party to prove its efficiency?
We have at lest 3 free antiviruses , with detection rate 99-100%, mostly 100%, so what is left to be detected by MBAM?

On average, Malwarebytes probably intercepts well over one hundred potential nasties per day on my system alone
Really????
On my PC's (3 of them) I NEVER had a detection from MBAM in over 3 years...(other that Websites, which usually are FP

Mine shows Component package version 1.0.236, even after I clicked on "Install Application Updates" and even after reboot.
I downloaded the latest version and install on top, now sais 1.0.262.
I will monitor, thanks!

Hi,
If I click on "Updates" in the Dashboard , always says "Current"
However , if I go to "Settings" and I click on "Install Application Updates" , ALWAYS will download and install something.
So, what are the "updates" from the Dashboard for???

As of now, my Malwarebytes if off. I'll try it again in a few months if you ever fix it, if not, then I will just stop using it.
You are right about Web protection , which seems to be quite unreliable, look at the amount of FPs in this forum.
But, as long as you paid for the software already, why don't you un-select the Web protection only and leave the other 3 on.
I run MBAM (with web protection off) and MSE on win7 without problems or slowdown.

Hi,
I have " Automatically download and install application component updates" selected, however every time I click on "Install application updates" button, something is being downloaded in installed.
Why is not this done automatically, as long as " Automatically download and install application component updates" is selected???

Running both EAM and MB Premium in real-time is probably OK if you have a newer computer with lots of RAM. My computer is not exactly new, and it feels a bit "heavy" running both programs in real time. However, there do not seem to be any compatibility conflicts (as far as I can tell). Just my 2 cents.
try to run with Web protection off in MBAM. The impact on your PC should improve.

Actually you should do your own independent and objective research. The result of that research will be that IObit has a long history of producing software that will harm your computer and that any and all of their products should be avoided. Why put a known thief in charge of your security?
OK, read here:

"I tested Advanced SystemCare 9 Free's ability to reinvigorate a PC by performing two tests—running the Geekbench system performance tool and measuring boot times—before and after running the software to compare the computer's speed. I ran each test three times and averaged the results.
Before the software tuned the system, my 2GHz Intel Core i7 X990 Style-Note notebook with 4GB of RAM and an 80GB Intel SSD drive achieved a 5,914 Geekbench score and booted in 50.3 seconds.
After I ran Advanced SystemCare 9, system performance improved. The GeekBench score rose to 6,201—a bit behind SlimWare Utilities SlimCleaner Free's category-leading 6,338 score. That said, the test bed's boot time decreased to 41.16 seconds, which is on par with SlimCleaner's 14's 41.1-second mark."

the antiransomware element offered quite limited ramsomware protection
The antiransomware shield is supposed to detect, strictly on behavior, a ransomware-like activity.
When the ransomware is new and not in web/malware database , this is when the antiransomware shield should react, independently from other shields.

and could never exist as a standalone product
Could you elaborate, please? Do you have any proof of what are you claiming????
Even in v3, "Ransomware protection" is an individual shield which can be turned ON or OFF , regardless of the status of all other shields.
As I said, when I tested the "Ransomware protection" , I turned off all the other shields leaving active only this shield.
Wanacry was detected and quarantined by this particular shield , after has encrypted 4 files on my computer, which is great an expected for a module which is supposed to react based on behavior.
I was not interested to see if MBAM would protect me against an already known malware (Wanacry) based on definitions or web blocking.
All I wanted to know was if the behavior blocker from Ransomware protection works or not.

What do you mean "Anti-Malware and Anti-Exploit installed"???? Antimalware includes antiexploit.
And what do you mean by "affected" ???? any file has been encrypted?? As far as I know the Ransomware protection in MBAM is not dependent of signatures and should quarantine the GrandCrab after several files being encrypted.
