Malwarebytes 3 does not start automatically after ransomeware attack

[Raymond]

It looks like one set of USB ports is not fully functional.   It will read only 1 port out of two.   It will not function with a hub.

As long as I am -not- using that set of USB ports MB works fine.   If I try to use them MB scan locks up on rootkits or memory objects EVERY TIME

My last try might be to update drivers and see if that changes anything.   Or I can just use the 2 usb ports that are still functional.

Either way I think you can close the issue since it seems hardware related.

Thanks Again for all your help.

Why not plug your new hub into one of the working ports and then chain off of that?

We have several old Lenovo laptops with broken USB ports and that's what we do. We put a USB hub connected to the working port and then the devices off of that.

Pretty normal for old hardware.

I tried that ... the hub worked once but not the second time.    I will think about this and try again.  But it is no longer an MB problem so you can close the problem.

 

thanks for the help!
