Exploit Protection Won't Turn On

[ChrisMP2017]

Same problem that plagued all users last month, when I turn on Exploit Protection it immediately switches itself back off.

Not sure if an update has caused this. 

I've attached the results from MB Check.

Hello @ChrisMP2017 and

Let's start by following the procedure below:

1. Please follow the steps in the locked/pinned topic to uninstall the remnants of MB3 and reinstall the latest build: MB-Clean Tool (NOTE: After uninstalling with the MB-Clean tool, you will be asked to reboot.  Once restarted, the tool will ask you if you want to re-install Malwarebytes, you can select YES (it will download the MB3 release version) or you can download the MB3 release version manually (currently v3.1.2.1733-1.0.141-1.0.2092) to re-install from HERE).

2. Only if that does not correct the system's issue, then please read the following and only separately attach to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: mb-check-results.zip, FRST.txt, and Addition.txt).

NOTE: The following MB3 information is also available: MB3 User Guide ONLINE, MB3 User Guide PDF, and the MB3 FAQ.

Please reply to your topic with your progress.  Thank you.

That seems to have done the trick. Many thanks.

Thanks this has fixed the problem. The clean up program did not reinstall I got fed up waiting atfer ten minutes so installed ok. but this keeps happening

worked for me too.

It would be great if it saved scan schedule settings, you know like good software usually does.

The clean tool is designed to rip out MB fully. There is a plan in the works I believe to be able to save settings.  But the current issues (affecting some) need to be addressed first.

Thanks. After hours of frustration, 1PW's instructions above worked. May I suggest making the link to this fix far more prominent, e.g., on your home page, until you have a version of MB3 that is better behaved.
