Sense of humor?

I think I get it now.  Pretty funny.  MWB version 3 takes up so much of my i7 PC's resources that it is unusable.  After attempting to open Firefox, and after waiting about 3 minutes and it still didn't open, I see MB is taking up over 700 MB of RAM. Nearly 100% of resources being used.  After attempting to open Task Manager to kill MWB (again), and after waiting 3 more minutes for Task Manager to open, I was finally able to kill this miserable beast.  Now my computer runs normal.

As I said, pretty funny how an anti-malware program prevents malware by not allowing you access to your browser.

You guys really need to address this.  I have it on three Windows 10 x64 machines and the problem affects all three.

Is this with MB open and running a manual scan?

MB is open, meaning the icon is visible in the System Tray where I can click on it and the dashboard appears.  It is not manually scanning or auto-scanning.  The resource hog is the MBAM service which is what I have to manually stop in order to use my computer.
