Spambone Posted January 27, 2018 ID:1205965 Share Posted January 27, 2018 As of about 09:30 Central, multiple BSOD (Bug Code NDIS Driver) and then saw MalwareBytes (Premium) Realtime Protection unable to turn on. Unable to use browsers and machine keep locking up (Win10 home 64). Finally had to disconnect from internet upon restart of computer and then was able to uninstall MalwareBytes to get my computer functioning at all. What's the deal?

Spambone Posted January 27, 2018 Author ID:1206133 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I am just a home user without servers. My whole machine kept shutting down (BSOD). After multiple restarts I disconnected from internet and then uninstalled Malwarebytes completely. Now machine works OK. At least I can get on the internet.

Spambone Posted January 27, 2018 Author ID:1206399 Share Posted January 27, 2018 As of sometime about 09:30 Central, suddenly got multiple BSOD (Bug Code NDIS Driver) and then saw MalwareBytes (Premium) Realtime Protection unable to turn on. Unable to change settings. Unable to use browsers and machine keep locking up (Win10 home 64). Finally had to disconnect from internet quickly upon restart of computer and then was able to uninstall MalwareBytes to get my computer functioning at all. All is fine without Malwarebytes. Waiting for solution before I re-install. Frustrating! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spambone Posted January 28, 2018 Author ID:1209275 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Finally after uninstall & reinstall yesterday (Malwarebytes Premium on W10Home64), my computer is working well again (as opposed to multiple BSOD yesterday), however Windows Defender Security Center now has red X and says "Malwarebytes is off and your device may be unprotected." Malwarebytes itself says it's up to date and OK. Anyone know what that's about? Never had the red X before.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spambone Posted January 29, 2018 Author ID:1209808 Share Posted January 29, 2018 After uninstall & reinstall Saturday (Malwarebytes Premium on W10Home64), my computer is working well again (as opposed to multiple BSOD ), however Windows Defender Security Center now has a red X and says "Malwarebytes is off and your device may be unprotected."

Seems strange that I didn't need to change that setting previously-- using this computer (and MWB) for 18 months... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to cause issues when someone/something disables Defender, Malwarebytes takes over in the action center and Defender thinks that MB is the primary AV and gets disabled. Same way Defender is disabled when you install any other 3rd party AV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
