[ RESOLVED ] Web Protection Off


Go to solution Solved by Firefox,

Recommended Posts

Hi guys sorry but I am back again with the "web protection off" notice.Approx two months ago I contacted you about the same problem.At that time I was advised to download version 3.6.1 which I duly did.All was working fine up to approximately 3-4 weeks ago when I got the dreaded notice (as in the post title).When I click the "turn on" link on the notice it generally works but not always.Another thing I have a problem with is:when I download a file and want to check it with mbam the program freezes with the "not responding" notice.This is very frustrating guys and I really hope you have a "permanent" solution for me.Thank you guys for all your very positive and friendly help in the past.

PS:About the "freezing" mentioned above it is impossible to close the program when this happens.

Hi Firefox thank you very much for your reply and the greeting.I regret to say I may have made an error.On first run of your instructions I clicked "Get Started" instead of "Advanced" which may have nullified the purpose of the exercise.I repeated the exercise but properly this time (but probably too late to make a difference) my apologies.I will send you both sets of logs and hope you guys can make sense of them.Thank you again for your help.

Kindest Regards

Since you ran the clean reinstall, did it solve your issue or are you still having the issue?

You also seem to be running Malwarebytes in compatibility mode, you need to undo that change.

I see you are running MB in compatibility mode. Please remove those settings. Then restart your computer.

  1. Go to the folder C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\
  2. Find the file mbam.exe and right click on it and choose Properties
  3. In the window that pops up click on Compatibility Tab
  4. Remove any changes there that don't match my picture below and click Apply/OK

@FeeDee, glad to hear that all seems to be working OK now, let us know if it continues to gives you issues, which if it does we will have to get a new set off logs.

As for how many computers you can use your license on, well that depends on the type of license you purchased.  If you got a single use license then it can only be used on one device at a time.  If you have a multiple license, for example a 3 computer license, then you can use it on 3 computers.
