You always have to restart the computer after security program installation. Maybe even twice

Look at the system32 folder, dll's galore.

I purchased Malwarebyte years ago on reputation, not what "tests" show. I got hit, a few months ago, because of my goof, not because MBM did not work. I believe security program vendors test their products. Otherwise no one would purchase them.

Version 2 had many problems when it first came out. Many complains are user/computer caused. I had no trouble with v2 and only a minor one with v3. Guess I am a happy camper !

Spybot !! I stopped using their program, oh let me think,,,,,10 years ago ? or more. Running this program without ANY problems x2. They need what version Windows and logs. Look through other posts to find out what they need to help you.

Heuristic at the end of a scan. It looks for certain fingerprints that malware uses. May catch something that is "new" in the wild.

I did three clean installs of the Anniversary upgrade, 64 bit, because of a memory error on restart and shutdown. Never had a problem. This last upgrade, I disabled all my security programs and that problem never came back. Soooo...it was either the security programs or Microsoft fixed something causing the error. Happiness is Windows !!!

2.0 also had many problems. I wonder why my three machines had no problems with 2.0 and minor ones with 3.0 ? Could it be bad installs, other software, user problems. User problems are my first idea. My original thought was the manufacturer but my laptop is an HP (did not come with any garbage programs). Such is life with Windows !!

I have had no problems until some minor ones with 3 that seem to have been fixed. While I have lifetime licenses, I was shocked with the 39.95 price for one year. My laptop is on another yearly plan and I will be looking for a less expensive option.

This time I disabled security programs. Unlike the last two Windows 10 upgrades, no problems this time.

That is why Devin said to Private Message him wit numbers. Click on his icon and the messaging is there on the page. Don't know if he can kill that post.

Never post that information in a forum. Only send to staff.

Take a deep breath and come back in a couple of weeks. That is what I did, problem was fixed. They are coming out with updates. You just have to look in the forum and not wait until a new version comes out through automatic update which can take longer. I never had any problems with Version 2, but many others did. This was only your second post. Couldn't have been an important problem.

I have to agree or people that should NEVER run this program are posting. I commented about this with ver 3, but could have with ver 2. You are trying to be nice, but maybe you should require more information from user before they can post. I cannot believe all these posts are REAL troubles.
