When will you post the new (fixed) version for downloading and installation? As of a few minutes the posted version is old, pre-fix

I was able to get going by right clicking on the malwarebytes icon, chose properties and then find the tab where you can check, "Run as Administrator". Once I did that everything started to work again.

@JGustave Welcome to Malwarebytes!

The current installer package does contain an older def package (v3791), but this did not contain the specific culprit that caused the RAM increase issue (v 3798 ~ v3802).  What normally happens is that once MB3 is installed, it immediately checks for the latest def package, downloads and applies it.  So in this case, even though an installation starts with an old version, it will jump the latest one, of which, both versions are outside the window of the bad def package.

hope this helps
