So I removed the Browser Guard extension and immediately regained the disk space. Not an ideal way to have to handle the problem. Does this qualify as a bug?

That was the first thing I tried; just did it again. No dice.

Windows 11 Beta, Edge Stable version.... I was looking at my C: disk usage and noted that under Edge the extension noted below (identified as MB Browser Guard) is taking up 14GB of hard drive space. Is this normal and what options do I have to reduce this?

Most excellent, thanks!

I've not seen the issue repeat since 10/27; I've been keeping up with the current Beta. Did y'all fix something intentionally or did it go away by itself?

Thanks! Done....

Found this one happened about 90 minutes ago. mbst-grab-results.zip

I've got it turned on now. It'll be tricky catching it, because I only noticed these when I run Reliability History

It doesn't seem to be browser related. It often happens in the middle of the night when I am not at the computer. I do use Edge pretty much exclusively. I have Firefox installed but rarely use it.

Here is the ZIP....mbst-grab-results.zip

Was getting this before I switched to the Beta version also, but seems to have become an almost daily occurrence..

Same issue here.

Thanks for adding my screenshot. What happened, as best as I can recall the steps. I updated MB using the Check For Updates function. When finished it said I was updated, but there were things I needed to check, so I clicked the See Details button. I was informed that I should install Browser Guard. Since I already have it, installed via MS Store, I assumed it was an upgrade and said go ahead. I was taken to the Chrome Store website, and it was installed as a second extension instance in Edge, same version numbers. Sent the note to the MB thread on the Win 11 forum and was told I should remove one of them; makes sense, right? When I removed the Chrome store (newer) one the MB dashboard application resumed telling me I had something I needed to fix. I reinstalled the Chrome version and removed the MS Store version. I'm just an old IT guy with 45+ years' experience, but it seems to me that your installer should be able to recognize when the extension is already installed and deal with it properly.

So, MB just updated to 4.5.10.200 and now I have 2 versions of Browser Guard installed. If I remove the one MB installed from Chrome Store, then my MB dashboard tells me that I don't have it installed. I am hesitant to remove the older one from MS Store because that' where all my current settings live. Which one is the real Browser Guard?

Thank you! Things seem to b OK now. I'll not be trying the Beta setting again anytime soon. I'm guessing that having two Betas (Win and MB) just doesn't play well together.

eset scan.txt Clean bill from ESET.

Update said I have most recent and the scan is clean. I've not ever installed an antivirus besides Malwarebytes, but when I got the computer about a year ago it had a bloatware copy of Norton that I uninstalled as soon as I could.

mbst-grab-results.zip Here it is. Note that when I reinstalled 45 minutes ago, I did NOT turn Beta on....

And 10 minutes later is it good.... WTF?

Did that several times.... Used the MB Tool to do a clean and reinstall, but it seems to still be broken:

My Win 11 install upgraded to 22610.1 today and shortly after MB updated to the latest Beta. At that point Windows flashed a message that I had not antivirus and let Defender take over. Now the machine does not recognize my MB install..... mbst-grab-results.zip

Fixed. Seems to have resolved itself somewhere in the last couple hours. Thanks guys!

3.1.2.1733 on Win10 64 Pro. Web protection was off. Wouldn't turn back on. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now web protection stays on, but it tells me updates are out of date and won't allow the update function to work...... Epic fail Malwarebytes
