Malwarebytes freezing Windows Machine


Recommended Posts

For about 4 months my machine had been freezing and BSODing. I have now finally found a solution that works, now tested for a month. Hurrah!
Thank gawd because I was going to replace my PSU and some stage out of desperation.

Disable Malicious website protection in Malwarebytes. Job done!!

Background:

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
Yes I've reinstalled it.
I've tried it on a clean/fresh OS same issue.
I am running Bitdefender 2016.
Most of my browsing is done in 64 bit Chrome.
Windows event viewer logs weren't of any use.

Thanks...

There is a known issue with the current builds of Bitdefender and Malwarebytes, that Bitdefender is conceding is "their" issue.  I have had no issues since unchecking the Firewall block port scans on network, as Bitdefender recommends.  See the threads here, and here.

I have my Malicous Website Protection enabled and I am not experiencing any issues.  Hopefully Bitdefender will come up with a cure in their next version.

Have a great day.

Regards,
-Phil
