Downloaded version 3.1 and had protections turned off immediately

[mumof3kiwis]

Wow. About a week ago I downloaded the most recent version of MBam as I had the same problems repeated as have been going on for months. Tonight it turned off web protection again, so I signed into the forum with the intention to report and provide some screen shots. On signing in, I noticed a version 3.1 had been uploaded in the past few days, so I downloaded and installed.  Immediately after installation, MBam reported web protection was turned off. It had the same hang on 'starting...' and could not be turned on. I exited MBam and could not find the program to restart. I signed out of my account and back in, and MBam automatically restarted with a repeat of the same error on web protection. I restarted the machine, and MBam restarted with BOTH web protection and malware protection turned off. My hopes for the new version are smashed.

Dunno if its a "known" issue yet by the admins/moderators/developers, but from the two "hot" posts on the front page for this forum, there's a lot of people also having this problem. 

 

Before you try a clean install; don't bother. I tried already, because I was having issues with v3.0.6 turning on exploit protection. Clean uninstalled and reinstalled v3.1.2 and, like everyone else, scans won't work past the update phase, and web protection is turned off.

And Malware Protection!

Agreed, threat scan doesn't work, either. Unable to do a complete system scan.
