• How did you encountered the issue and any steps to reproduce it

I booted my computer and noticed an exclamation point at the bottom of the icon next to the clock. I am running Windows 10 Pro 64. I am running Malwarebytes v3. This is the first issue I have ever had from Malwarebytes, if the software is responsible, anyway.

• Do you get the same result more than once if you follow the same steps? Y/N

Yes. I had several problems at once, it seemed. (I cannot say for sure that Malwarebytes caused this, it all seemed to happen simultaneously.) The display driver reverted to a basic driver, causing the resolution to drop. The mouse began "jumping", rather than moving smoothly. Programs began running slowly, or locking up all together. 

I ran the "fix it" option for windows, which seems to have sorted everything else, except the problem with Malwarebytes.

• If the system crashed (aka blue screen of death or BSOD), please include the error message

No. That did not occur. I was able to restart the machine, although it took several times to get it running properly again.

This is how it appears when I attempt to manually start Real-Time Protection:

This is the error that pops up after it attempts to start for a few minutes:

  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
