Program stops while running

[SpinOutZone]

Hello - I did an update to my older version and after the update finished (to the newest version) I double clicked my icon and opened Malwarebytes'. I chose "quick scan" and after 10 seconds the entire program closes. I double clicked on the icon again and it wouldn't open - it gave me a "no permission" message.

I uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it and it continues to do the same thing. I uninstalled again and found a site to download my old version - but it still closes after 10 seconds into the scan and won't allow me to open it again.

Any advice? Thanks!
