mrmickguitar Posted February 11, 2017 ID:1101006 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have malwarebytes 3.0.6 with a lifetime licence and finally got the program running today. However, the program keeps telling me that Anti Exploit is taking too long to start and I should reboot the computer to cure the problem.. Surely Anti Exploit is included in 3.0.6 and should start with everything else. Rebooting does not seem to solve anything. Any help would be appreciated.

mrmickguitar Posted February 11, 2017 Author ID:1101009 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I should have added that I'm using Windows 10 and Exploit protection shows as being 'on' in the protection settings. Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billrv Posted March 1, 2017 ID:1105164 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have exactly the same problem. Rebooting just results in same message popping up. Any solution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmickguitar Posted March 1, 2017 Author ID:1105184 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi Billrv No solution yet but if seems that the Anti Exploit message belongs to an older version of Malwarebytes as, in the latest versions of the program. the name has changed to Exploit Protection and appears to be working correctly in scans. Could it be just be a leftover piece of software rthat we can't get rid of? There is nothing showing in the Control Panel that could be uninstalled. I'm just ignoring the message.

Aura Posted March 1, 2017 ID:1105227 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi guys Can you install the latest beta/preview of Malwarebytes 3.0.6 and see if that solves your issue? https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/196391-beta-preview-of-next-306-update/ Before that, deactivate your current Malwarebytes installation, uninstall it and run mb-clean.exe to clean the remnants. Once done, install the version linked above. https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/196955-malwarebytes-mb-clean-tool/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmickguitar Posted March 1, 2017 Author ID:1105263 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thank you for the advice Aura. I have already reinstalled the new beta version but did not have the clean up tool. All seems to be working OK so I think I'll just leave things alone as the message is just a very minor annoyance and doesn't seem to affect anything.. Thanks again, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
