Thanks - but that's the one I already have. Pete

Now got Resolving Host even after a reboot. Have given up with Malwarebytes for the time being - it's not worth the hassle. Disappointed not to have had a response from them in the last week. Pete

After posting this I realised that Malwarebytes might not have restarted after the last roboot. Updated zip file attached. Pete mbst-grab-results.zip

To recap on my experience:- I run Windows 10, Norton Internet Security and Malwarebytes Premium and Chrome - all fully updated. I am having exactly the same problem with 'Resolving Host' and have been able to temporarily fix it by turning off Web Protection. I do not use a VPN, and use Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) My scan is scheduled for the default 2:06am time This setup worked fine until 2 or three weeks ago When Web Protection is switched on, Resolving Host arises each day after the daily automatic scan completes i.e. soon after I start my pc at around 7am Until the scan completes Chrome works OK Rebooting the pc clears the problem until the next day I have tried Using the Support Tool for Advanced / Clean (per Exile360 post #33) to remove and reinstall Malwarebytes, which has not fixed the problem. I have tried running the Support Tool / Advanced / Gather Logs while the Resolving Host problem exists, but the Tool takes around 4 to 5 minutes to run Collect Logs, and then hangs indefinitely at the Run FRST stage (when Resolving Host is not in evidence it take 30 seconds for Collect Logs and 4 minutes to Run FRST) I have attached the Logs for when Chrome IS working properly in the hope that this will help you. mbst-grab-results.zip

I spoke too soon - the problem returned the next day. As requested, on two separate occasions I have tried to run the Support Tool / Advanced / Gather logs while the problem existed - the result was the same - it gets through 'Collect Logs' (slowly) and then hangs at the Run FRST stage (I left it running for 5 hours while I was out this morning). The support tool runs properly when the Resolving Hots problem is not in evidence. To clear the problem I run the following in CMD.exe as Administrator:- ipconfig /flushdns netsh int ip reset Then reboot. The problem typically then clears until the machine is switched off overnight and then restarted. The browser then works normally until about the time that the daily scan finishes, when the Resolving Host issue returns. I hope that helps Pete

In order to try to repeat the problem and run the scan per post #20 I have left Mawarebytes Premium fully active for the last two days and so far the problem has not repeated, despite me using the pc in the usual way which would normally have caused the problem to reappear. i will report back if/when the problem returns.
