  1. It is an M82. Hibernate is required for fast startup, right? And hibernate is disabled. And besides, if I choose Restart and not Shutdown, then fast startup is bypassed, isn't it? Thanks for the info about conflicting applications! I read somewhere that MB is designed to run together with other antivirus applications, so I thought that it was okay... PJ
  2. Hello, I just logged out from my personal account, logged in to the Administrator account, removed the Administrators group from my personal account, logged out and logged in again to my personal account. And that's when the Malwarebytes Service started to act up. Was that not the correct procedure? I have been a computer technician for 37 years, and in recent years we have tried to avoid letting our users be local administrators as much as possible. According to a Microsoft representative, this will reduce the harm that a virus or malware can do by 95%, especially of course, if it is a totally new virus that the antivirus system doesn't know about. So I thought I'd try that approach also in my home computers. I will look into the support tool and logs when I get home from work. Sincerely, PJ
  3. Folks, I am a Premium user, currently running v4.3.0.98. I have always had Administrator privileges on my Windows account, and everything has worked well. Today I thought that I would remove those privileges and run as a standard user. And then the Malwarebytes Service went totally berserk. It constantly ran at approx. 40% CPU. I restarted the computer. Same thing. It crossed my mind to uninstall the program and reinstall it, but first I thought I'd put back the Administrator privileges and see what happens, and then Malwarebytes went back to normal. Is it not possible to run the program as a standard user and get it to behave normally? I realize that it is possible to right click on the icon and choose "Run as Administrator", but the program starts automatically when I log in. And if I remove the autostart function, I will most likely forget to start the program manually. Kind regards, PJ
