Thank you! ?

Hi, Malwarebytes just popped up out of nowhere with this detection on a running program: -Blocked Malware Details- File: 1 Adware.DLAssistant.Generic, C:\Program Files (x86)\NCH Software\Scribe\hookappcommand.dll, Delete-on-Reboot, [9270], [559772],1.0.6583 I'm pretty sure this is a false positive. I uploaded the file to both VirusTotal and Jotti and they came back with zero results. The program in question (ExpressScribe) hasn't been modified or updated since 2017. I use it pretty much daily for work. MWB also ran a scheduled scan a couple of days ago and didn't find anything malicious, so I assume this is from a new definitions update since then. I've attached the full log as well as the file in question. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Thanks! detection log.txt hookappcommand.zip

That's exactly the issue I had. If you disable Ransomware Protection, does that stop it from reoccurring?

Just jumping in to say I ran into this problem over the weekend as well. Stepped away from my PC for maybe half an hour, and when I came back it was unusably slow. Programs took forever to launch or wouldn't launch at all, Chrome eventually launched but wouldn't load anything, etc. When I got the Task Manager to open (which took about 5 minutes), the only thing out of the ordinary was that the Malwarebytes Service was pegged using 25% of my CPU. Normally it uses <1%. I was unable to get MWB to open, so I attempted a reboot which got stuck and had to force a shutdown. On reboot I disabled the Ransomware Protection module and that seems to have fixed things. By which I mean the problem hasn't reoccurred in the past couple of days. This is with MWB v3.4.5 on Windows 10. Like PowerMan, my PC's reasonably fast, though not as powerful as his, so this kind of behavior was extremely unusual and seems to have come from MWB going a bit rogue. I'm happy to start my own thread / gather diagnostic logs if need be.
