Previous version to 1.6 download

[paulccsi]

Can someone direct me to the previous version of Malwarebytes?

I would at least like to have a running version on my computer that works, until

I can find out why the new version makes my computer (with Win 7 - 64 bit Home Premium) unusable.

Hello and

You can find previous versions at FileHippo Right HERE

No "Zone Alarm" software running here. Just Avira Antivirus.

Understood, but did you try the mbam-clean process as requested and setup the file exclusions for your Anti-Virus?

What issues are you having?

[paulccsi]

Yes, I ran the mbam-clean process, rebooted, turned off Avira Anti-virus, reinstalled Malwarebytes 1.6, turned Avira back on. Everything is fine unless I enable the protection module. If realtime protection is turned on, the computer will not come up to the Desktop. If by some chance it does, the screen shows an active revolving cursor, as if there were a program starting to run. I can move the cursor, but if I try to double click on an application to run, the computer locks up. The only way I can get it to come back to a normal desktop startup screen, is to restart the computer in safe mode and uncheck the realtime protection module in malwarebytes, and do a reboot.

Oh yeah, I do believe I have the file exclusions set up properly, but you may want to list them for me in case I missed something.

Thanks

Paul
