Dashboard does not come up and other delights

[deadhead42]

Dashboard does not appear when Malwarebytes 2.04 is launched of my computer (Win 7 Pro, 64bit).

 

Eventually Malwarebytes runs a scan and finds PUPs (2 Folders and a file--SearchProtect). If I then try to apply an action the program locks up (Malwarebytes is not responding) and I have to force a shutdown.

 

I have attached the log from the most recent scan as well as those produced by FRST64 and mbam-check.

 

Cheers
