Kouen Posted June 4, 2017 ID:1132955 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hello I am running Malwarebytes 3 v3.6.0 and when i run it on Windows 10 it uses a huge amount of memory like 1 gigabyte, I tried to find the option that appears in the usage guide to prevent this behaviour from happening because this is a machine of low resources but I didn't find any option on how scans affects my system. Even on safe mode, it stalls and when I try to open back Malwarebytes it says pagination file too little but it doesn't even run it and stalls. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PW Posted June 4, 2017 ID:1132957 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Hello @Kouen and Since that system's MB3 version seems fairly old and resource utilization improvements have been made, please follow this procedure: Please follow the steps in the locked/pinned topic to uninstall remnants of MB3 and reinstall the latest build: Malwarebytes mb-clean tool (NOTE: After uninstalling with the mb-clean tool, you will be asked to reboot. Once you reboot, it will ask you if you want to re-install Malwarebytes, you can select YES (it will download the latest version) or you can download the latest version manually (currently v3.1.2.1733-1.0.139-1.0.2060 ) to re-install from HERE) If that does not correct the issue, then please read the following and attach to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: mb-check-results.zip, FRST.txt, Addition.txt) NOTE: More info about the latest Malwarebytes 3.1.2 HERE; MB3 User Guide ONLINE; MB3 User Guide PDF; MB3 FAQ: Malwarebytes 3.0 - Frequently Asked Questions Please reply to your topic with your progress. Thank you. Edited June 4, 2017 by 1PW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted June 4, 2017 ID:1133024 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Malwarebytes only has a few pieces that run in safe mode, so it sounds like perhaps your windows page file. Assuming you have 64-bit Windows, you may want to check out this article which talks about finding the proper page file size for your machine https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2860880/how-to-determine-the-appropriate-page-file-size-for-64-bit-versions-of-windows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
