Malwarebytes Causing Problems

[Jeemag]

  Hello,

 

  I've had to uninstall MWB Pro as it was suddenly causing problems. Because I had to uninstall to get this far, I can't say what version it was.

 

Windows 7 booted normally and behaved normally until the yellow box came up in the notification area asking me to turn on som protections that were not turned on. Doing anything with this box (even dismissing it) caused the machine to slow to a crawl with CPU at 80% or so and eventually locking up completely. It would then behave normally until MWB's yellowbox comes up ...

 

I'm running Kaspersky 2018 Internet Security so MWB isn't too important, but is very useful for finding PUPs and other trash.

 

Should I download MWB again and install ?

 

Regards

Cheemag

Give it a day or two for the team to fix this issue. I too have uninstalled for now. Shame because i actually paid for this software...

I wouldn't install it right now.

It's a weekend so I'm guessing there won't be any meaningful response until Monday at the earliest.

I had to uninstall the product & then run the mbam-clean program to get the service completely out.

Too bad there is no ability to download a prior version.

See this topic.  I'm going to use that one as the "central" one for this situation.

  Hello,

 

  Too late - it's gone - I had to uninstall it to get this far.

Thanks,

 

  Not much point in collecting anything as I've uninstalled it.

 

   It wasn't blue-screening just hijacking the processor and locking the system up.

 

However if you wish I'll run the tool, but Geek uninstaller did a very good job of uninstalling MWB.
