I walked away from my computer for an hour today and noticed when I got back a Windows error telling me I was low on memory.  I started to diagnose why after realizing all of my available 16gb of memory was being used, and narrowed it down to the MBAMservice.exe.  I updated Malware Bytes, which was up to the current date, restarted the service, and then my computer.  I noticed the same problem.  I also tried turning off all real time scans, and the problem persisted, even when nothing else (for the most part) was running, no actual programs.  I also put the Malware Bytes folder on an exclusion list from my Anti-virus, same problem still.

I'm going to need to uninstall it for now just to make my computer functional, but I'll include a screenshot showing Windows Process manager showing a ram spike over time (about 300meg of ram a second being used) As well as Process Explorer showing MBAMservice.exe using the majority of the memory, and a picture of MBAM itself up to date, which most of the real time scans turned off.

As far as basic computer specs go, it's your normal mid-range gaming computer.

Windows 7 64bit

i7-4790k CPU

16gb Corsair memory

Geforce 1080TI

Samsung SSD drives hard drives etc.

 

I should also note that I took the screenshot early, eventually the memory maxes out and I can only assume starts using a swap file at that point.  My computer chugs along thru it decent for normal tasks but I would imagine a regular business class computer would come to a crawl.  Any ideas/help would be appreciated, seems like a legit bug?
