Malwarebytes 3.5.1 – Known issues with anti-ransomware

We have identified a few issues with the anti-ransomware module in the latest version of Malwarebytes, v. 3.5.1.

System slowdown/excessive memory use:  The next component package update for Malwarebytes (coming soon!) should address this problem.  Typically rebooting will resolve the issue temporarily.

Prevents programs from updating:  Programs such as Skype, Visual Studio 2017, KeePass and others may not update correctly with the anti-ransomware module enabled.  We have a fix for this coming in a later update, but the work-around in the meantime is to temporarily disable the anti-ransomware module while you upgrade.
