Web Protection Not starting


Recommended Posts

Hello,

As many others on this forum, my web protection is not starting. I attempt to turn it on and it goes back to off. 

Please note - I have downloaded your mb-clean and removed all components from previous install and rebooted.  I have reinstalled it more than once afterward and has not solved the problem. I have no other anti-virus programs running.

Please advise.

Re-run MB this time with rootkit scanning enabled and be sure to quarantine everything it finds. 

After that.

Let's try and get some logs first so the team can review them and see if they can tell what may be causing your issues....

  1. FIRST: Create and obtain Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) logs
  2. Download FRST and save it to your desktop
    NOTE: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit
  3. Double-click to run FRST and when the tool opens click "Yes" to the disclaimer
  4. Press the "Scan" button
  5. This will product two files in the same location (directory) as FRST: FRST.txt and Addition.txt
    NOTE: These two files will be collected by the MB-Check Tool and added to the zip file for you
  6. NEXT: Create and obtain an mb-check log
  7. Download MB-Check and save to your desktop
  8. Double-click to run MB-Check and within a few second the command window will open, then click "OK"
  9. This will produce one log file on your desktop: mb-check-results.zip
  10. Attach this file to your forum post by clicking on the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." or simply drag the file to the attachment area

I would also consider testing your hard drive.

Also please post the scan log from that last scan.

@lyleg the log shows that you had some errors with Web Protection, but that everything was running at the time you ran mb-check. I think this is related to a known issue we have where the database update can cause issues with Web Protection not loading properly. The best solution at this time is to simply shutdown Malwarebytes and restart it. We should have this fixed in our next release.
