Malwarebytes 3.3.1: infinite RAM usage - Real-Time Protection turned OFF

[KatiaJ]

I seems to not be the only one having this issue as of today.
Malwarebytes 3.3.1 Premium turned Real-Time protection OFF. Turning ON does nothing. (endless "starting.." message appears)
RAM usage is going beyond 5 GB, until PC crashes.
"Cannot connect to license server.."

NOTE: I removed & Re-installed Malwarebytes 3.3.1, 4 times with the use of the automated guide on this forum that's being posted (mb-clean) to NO AVAIL. The issue persists.
By Restart It works fine for 1-2 minutes, followed by turning Real-time protection OFF and then the RAM chaos starts.

And as I mentioned, this is my 4th re-install and it's still doing the same as above.

uhh, help?

• Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST)
  1. Download FRST and save it to your desktop

  2. Double-click to run FRST and when the tool opens click "Yes" to the disclaimer
  3. Press the "Scan" button
  4. This will produce two files in the same location (directory) as FRST: FRST.txt and Addition.txt
     • Leave the log files in the current location, they will be automatically collected by mb-check once you complete the next set of instructions
• MB-Check
  1. Download MB-Check and save to your desktop
  2. Double-click to run MB-Check and within a few second the command window will open, press "Enter" to accept the EULA then click "OK" 
  3. This will produce one log file on your desktop: mb-check-results.zip

Please DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!  Machine keeps crashing after "Real Time Protection Turned Off" message and then trying to turn it on.  Too many people with this problem.
