delay startup through windows services

[lugnut]

I am trying to set startup in windows startup service to automatic delay instead of automatic this was possible before version 2.0 but now it's not the reason that I am trying to set service to auotmatic delay is now with version 2.0 it forces starting quickly thus causing other programs to wait then causing slow startup after restarts and sometimes errors because of slow startup.

Hello and

This feature is now controlled through a setting in Malwarebytes 2.0.

If you have the Premium Version (or Trial) do this:

Open Malwarebytes Click on Settings => Advanced Settings => put a check mark on Delay Protection at startup for XX seconds (where XX is the setting your prefer.

I did what you said and it does nothing as far as delaying MBAM service start up , MBAM service conflicts with Vipre during start up and this is why delaying in windows services is needed , I know a lot of user that are having this same problem during restarts.

Hi:
 
Until @Firefox returns....
 
We aren't seeing many reports of this problem here in the forum.
 
If you have not already done so, you might try setting mutual exclusions between VIPRE and MBAM.
The screen shot below shows an example (with a different AV) of setting the AV Malware Exclusion in MBAM.
The instructions below list the files to set for MBAM exclusions in VIPRE.
 
If that doesn't resolve your issue, it would help us to better assist you if we had a bit of system info.
Please read the following and post back attached to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt)
 
Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks,

did all that, added exclusions on both programs before I posted this problem,  didn't make any difference. Windows 7 64 bit HP pavilion, and all filters are set to allow both programs.

if you change the Windows service to delayed start up in windows services then re start computer everything starts normal but then go back and check windows services it automatically switched back to auto start up not delay start up, so again there is a conflict when starting up , between Vipre and MBAM service, this worked OK before version 2.0  you could change MBAM service in Windows services to delayed start up and it would stay no matter how many re starts, so apparently MBAM won't allow a delayed start up in Windows services.

Hello lugnut,

 

You could try adding a dependency and see if that works.

If you don't know what to service to use as a dependency, I've read the Print Spooler service (spoolsv.exe) is among the last to load on startup.

Here is an MS article about this, Win 7 works the same.

Sorry to interject. I just want to add some info that might help you and/or the Forum helpers assisting you.

 

How are you determining when MBAM is starting ? I ask because I had questions about that myself when I was trying out Version 2.x.

 

At that time, I used Sys Internals -- Process Monitor and Process Explorer -- to monitor MBAM's start-up sequence and subsequent activity. I wasn't certain as to the sequence until exile360 confirmed and explained it HERE.

 

You might have to disable MBAM self-protection (and maybe reboot) before your Delay options, either in Windows Services or MBAM's UI, 'take'.

 

I didn't have Vipre so my results might not be relevant to you. Good luck.

self protection is not checked under advanced options.
