Still having the problem. I re-installed Malwarebytes trial and disabled as much of Windows defender as I could. Chrome is still locking up intermittently. It locks for several minutes and then reconnects. The problem can start on its own if I'm away from the computer or start when I go to click a link or button. In Task Manager, Antimalware Service Executable is showing at 1% or less with Chrome consuming up to 30%. Here is the latest zip log... mbst-grab-results.zip

Started having the same browser lock-up problems post-fix and post-Malwarebytes uninstall. It appears to happen when I go to click on a link or button. I disabled Windows Defender's browser protection features. I'll get back to you later today about further problems.

Fixlog.txt

The fix ran, and the machine rebooted. So, far everything is running normally and much faster than before I uninstalled Malwarebytes and ran the fix.

The system removed fixlist.txt. It was not available for me to download.

The problem returned. Chrome locked up so bad that I had to reboot the computer. I uninstalled Malwarebytes after running the mbst-grab-results.zipmbst-grab-results.ziptool. The logs are attached.

Thanks for your reply. I ran the tool prior to reading your message. It reported that it had repaired the problem, so I turned real-time protection back on and installed the browser extension in chrome. So far, Chrome is running normally. I'll re-run the tool if the problem comes back.

Malwarebytes, for the last two weeks, is causing both Edge and Chrome to lock up in Windows 10 and 11 on my desktop and laptop. I uninstalled the browser extension and turned off Real-Time Protection. This resolved the problem. I previously had no problems with Malwarebytes. What is the fix? Thx, Mike
