New version auto-installed, crashes on attempting database update or scan


Recommended Posts

When I opened Malwarebytes today to run a scan, a message popped up saying three was a new version -- need to install update.  It look suspicious somehow, so I cancelled.  On checking the Malwarebyte site, I say that there was a ndew version out last month, so when I tried again to launch the Software and got the box about install update, I accepted.  On running the setup that downloaded, launching, I got screenshot 1, attached.  Whenever I click either "update database" or "scan", the program crashes -- see screenshot 2.   

 

Any help appreciated.  Thanks

I tried to follow your instructions, but the reinstalled version doesn't offer an activation button.  For some reason, it still has my account information even after reinstall.  It's stuck unable to update and unable to scan.  What other steps do you recommend?  Thanks
