I just got a mail this morning from support center of Malwarebytes. It is very helpful and problem was solved. Thanks for your answer here is the answer.

 

 

we designed it to install to a randomized
temporary directory on each launch, along with a randomized filename,
to ensure no one can locate it, and thus crack it (while it's running,
it contains your login information and binds your local IP, which
would be a major security risk if it became visible externally; thus
why we randomize it's name and location, so it can't be found by
automatic scripts/etc). However, this randomization causes security
software to be unable to recognize it.

because this action is exactly the same behavior as malware and viruses there is no way for us to effectively stop blocking it.

The only way to use the two together is to turn off this feature while using the VPN

Hi yigido, the email you received from Support was related to Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit. However if you are still getting popup notifications saying "Exploit attempt blocked" then it is an issue with Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. Please attach your file C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit\mbae-default.log here.

OK I see the problem. We'll try it here internally to see if we can find a solution for this. In the meantime simply stop MBAE when dialing the VPN and then start it again.

 

Thanks for reporting!

You can check this problem yourself install and run Spotflux with MBAE. It looks bug then. Please inform me about this issue.

I'm able to reproduce an issue where the latest MBAE 0.10.0.1000 causes a performance issue in the older (but popular) Minecraft version.1.6.4. It does not occur with the latest Minecraft version 1.7.5. Specifically, Minecraft is very slow to load and slow to access menu items from within the game (ESC or E key). Once the game is loaded game play is normal (other than accessing menu items and inventory). I only had time to verify that I don't see a spike in CPU, disk, or memory utilization. Windows 7 Ultimate x64 w/latest 64 bit Java 1.7.0 51 b13, MBAM Pro 1.75.0.1300, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus "New Version" a.k.a. 2014. Obviously disabling MBAE resolves the issue. Let me know what else I may provide. Thx.

Dear Pedro,

 

I like very much the latest release of MBAE, having almost no problems with it, except some icon disappearing issues, but the icon always shows up after another reboot, so nothing very important.

 

However, today I have came up against a problem cause by MBAE when using software needed for signing electronically documents in Poland, needed e.g. in some cases while using our e-government platforms (when you need to submit electronically verified document and so on). To make such signature, you need to have such software, distributed by (in our case) Unizeto Technologies. They use Java to run this software.

 

The problem is, that when I run this software (proCertum Smart Sign), I get HUGE lags, which makes application almost useless. And as soon as I stop MBAE protection (by context menu on tray icon), and start the application again, I get NO lags and the application works in a normal way.

 

You can find the software I am talking about at: https://www.certum.eu/certum/cert,offer_smart_sign.xml (there is latest version available, 6.0.0.2088). For signing documents you would actually need USB certificate cards and a certificate card issued by Unizeto, but the lags are visible just after running proCertum, even with no card attached, so you should see what I'm talking about. I am also attaching 7z'ed logs from MBAE and will PM the password for it to you.

 

Greetings,

Piotr.
