All: I have been asked by a member of the DisplayLink support team, a tech solutions provider for (among things) USB-dock based graphics display, hot desking and other peripheral support, to share information with Malwarebytes, its users and, specifically, the Malwarebytes support team, regarding issues/conflicts that I experienced between the latest Malwarebytes for Windows software and the latest DisplayLink for Windows drivers and software; as well as to share the solution/steps that I came up with and discovered to solve my issue. I note that I am currently (i) a Malwarebytes premium subscriber (running Malwarebytes for Windows 4.0.4.49), and (ii) a DisplayLink software user (specifically, "DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows 9.3 M0 drivers") with a USB 3.0 "Plugable UD-3900 Dual Display Universal Docking Station". The specific request from DisplayLink appears in its forums (in a response to my own "How To"-type posting) here (and/or at the top of page 2): https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64896&goto=newpost; and, as evidenced by the posting itself, a member of DisplayLink's tech support team (named Alban) would like to work together with Malwarebytes' team on fixing the below-described issue. The material substance of both my issue and the posting that I left in the DisplayLink forums is cut and paste hereinbelow (here’s the original link, with my post at the bottom of “page 1”: https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64896) ADDITION TO THE ABOVE: (18) Reinstall Malwarebytes. As an added measure, and whether or not this is superfluous or necessary is totally up to you: leave the "enable self-protection module early start" option (in advanced security settings) unchecked, as enabling this setting specifically "...changes the order of services and drivers associated with your computer's startup" (see the MB for Windows User Guide here: https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-3564), and you want (or, at least I want) the DisplayLink "dlcdcncm" ethernet adapter driver for the USB dock loaded early on in the PC's startup process so that the internet (using ethernet, not WiFi) works right away at the Windows login screen (and during your boot process).

Hello! I really need some help. I have a Windows 10 Pro x64 computer that says my Ethernet works fine and is connected to the internet but my browsers cannot connect to the internet. I tried a bunch of stuff, nothing works. Malwarebytes detected no problem. I also use AVG Internet Security and it found nothing. Please help me

hello, I have am having a problem with my network card. It keeps saying that I am missing one or more network proticols. So far I have tried : - reinstalling -updating -rolling back (used an old version) -used the same settings as my wifi (that does work) -bridged the connection (it works but when I dont have wifi it stops working) -preformed a clean install (removed all the ethernet crap and reinstalled) It still keeps saying that 1 or more network proticols are missing. The network card I use is the killer e2200.

since a new windows update my lan doesnt work anymore and I get invalid ip configuration in troubleshoot. What do I need to do?

Have just recently formatted my computer and decided to not go back to AVG because of the problems it's been having with Steam and other things. I used other programs other than MWB Free but have decided to come back to it because when used in tandem with other programs I have just as much protection as AVG provided. However an interesting problem has occured. When I installed it I was completely blocked from internet access. My MB port is not working so I am using a USB Ethernet adapter for access. After a long search on the web and through my computer and MWB itself that produced nothing I removed the program. After getting access restored I installed the program again just to be sure and within seconds I was blocked from the internet again. I couldn't find anything in MWB that I thought was relevant and I'm sure it's not my computer or reinstallation since I had access before MWB but I'll be damned if I can figure out what to do on my own. I could really use some help in finding out what to configure to keep this from happening.

How does Malwarebytes defeat keyloggers? Does it scan in some way as to make it logically impossible for a keylogger to remain unnoticed (e.g., checking each ethernet port for keyboard output) or does it compare .exe files to known keylogger configurations, or some combination of those, or something I haven't thought of?
