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).

Product appears to be trial version. Result 3) Product appears to be in Trial mode. "You're running Malwarebytes Free. Upgrade to Premium to get Real-Time Protection from ransomware and other threats." "Upgrade Now" button is visible immediately below this message. Orange "Upgrade Now" button is visible at top right of dialog. Under Real-Time Protection, Web protection, Exploit protection, Malware protection, and Ransomware protection all show as "Premium Only". Scenario 4) Main Dashboard of fully licensed Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium, 3 PCs, 2 years. Effective Date: 3/29/2017, Expiration Date: 3/28/2019. Click "Activate License" button.

Other than the Web Blocking / RAM Issue - which was patched - product has been operating as expected in Premium mode until now. What now? Uninstall / Reinstall? Is there a direct link to download v3.4? Will you push out a fix? Thanks, BigBadBill

I cannot access Linkedin. I use a Mac mini. I've tried from Firefox, Chrome and Safari. This is new, in the past week or so. I've tried using "linkedin.com" and various other links to specific pages, with no luck. Any clue what's happening here and how to fix it? The error messages: Firefox: "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." Chrome: "www.linkedin.com unexpectedly closed the connection." Safari: "Safari can't open the page... because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "linkedin.com". Thanks!
