LiquidTension Posted May 31, 2019 ID:1315086 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi @espilman, Please carry out the "technical issues" instructions above as the file you've provided is from a legacy troubleshooting tool. ----- Does the issue occur with every type of exclusion? If not, specifically which type of exclusion(s) do you encounter the issue with? Do you have high contrast mode enabled in Windows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted May 31, 2019 Author ID:1315103 Share Posted May 31, 2019 At the moment I have no exclusions. If I try to add an exclusion I click on add and at that time nothing pops up on the screen (no choices) and the the program freezes. I then have to shut the program (Malwarebytes 3) down via the task manager. I have deleted Malwarebytes completely, reinstalled it and it does the same thing. mbst-grab-results.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidTension Posted May 31, 2019 ID:1315109 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Thanks for the file. Just to confirm, is the button that triggers the Malwarebytes user interface to hang/freeze the one depicted below? Do you have high contrast mode enabled in Windows? Please do the following: Reproduce the issue and wait for the Malwarebytes user interface to hang/freeze. Open the Task Manager. Locate the "Malwarebytes" process. Right-click the process and click Create dump file. Upon completion, a file named mbam.dmp will be saved to your %temp% folder. To obtain the file, press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type %temp% and click OK. Copy the mbam.dmp file to your Desktop. Right-click the mbam.dmp file and click Send to followed by Compressed (Zipped) folder. Please attach the generated Zip file in your next reply.

espilman Posted May 31, 2019 Author ID:1315192 Share Posted May 31, 2019 You are correct with the "Add Exclusions" button. However when I try and send you the requested folder which is 86mb in size I get the message " You are only allowed to upload 58.59mb". What do I do now?

exile360 Posted June 1, 2019 ID:1315223 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Please right-click on the folder and select Copy then right-click in a convenient location such as your desktop and select Paste then once the folder has finished copying over right-click on the new copy you created and hover your mouse over Send to and select Compressed (zipped) folder then attach the resulting ZIP file to your next reply or, if it is still too large upload it to WeTransfer.com making sure to click on the circular ... button and selecting the Send as link option then copy and paste the download link into your next reply.

LiquidTension Posted June 3, 2019 ID:1315450 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks for the dump file. I'll get back to you shortly with the results. In the meantime, please boot the computer into Safe Mode and check if the issue also occurs there. Steps on how to do so can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode Please let me know the results.

espilman Posted June 3, 2019 Author ID:1315463 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I tried to add an exception in Safe Mode as you requested. It freezes there also. The screen looks a little different but still can not add and exception. Thanks for your continuing assistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 6, 2019 Author ID:1315940 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Are you still working on my problem? I have not heard anything from you since Monday. Just checking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidTension Posted June 7, 2019 ID:1316177 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks for your patience. Unfortunately, the dump file hasn't provided any useful information. Let's see if we can narrow down the cause further. Given the Safe Mode results, this most likely won't have any impact, but it's still worth trying. Perform Clean Boot Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type msconfig and click OK. On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, select the Hide all Microsoft services check box. Click Disable all. Scroll through the list and look for Malwarebytes Service. Place a checkmark next to this. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, click Open Task Manager. On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable. Close Task Manager. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, click OK and then restart the computer. Log back into your normal user account. After performing the clean boot, please open Malwarebytes and check if the issue still occurs. ----- If the issue still occurs, please do the following: Export Event Logs Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type eventvwr.msc and click OK. Expand Windows Logs. Right-click Application and click Save All Events As.... Name the file application and click OK. Repeat for Security and System. Navigate to the location of the files. Highlight the three files, right-click one and click Send to followed by Compressed (zipped) folder. Name the Zip file EventLogs.zip and attach the file in your next reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 9, 2019 Author ID:1316356 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I did as you suggested. The file is attached. Thanks for your continuing efforts. EventLogs.Zip.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidTension Posted June 10, 2019 ID:1316519 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello, Thanks for the file. Were you also able to perform the clean boot? What were the results? Please do the following: SFC /Scannow Please download sfc_scannow.bat using the link below. → https://malwarebytes.box.com/s/71uel6xlgciq5fitx1lq8a6jqo3ck4mi Open your Downloads folder. Double-click sfc_scannow.bat. Note: If you are prompted by Windows SmartScreen, click More info followed by Run anyway. A blue Command Prompt window will appear. Upon completion, a file named mb-cbs-log.zip will be created on your Desktop. Please attach the file in your next reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 10, 2019 Author ID:1316542 Share Posted June 10, 2019 OK, I am now totally confused. I should have sent you a message yesterday but I got busy and was away from my computer. After doing what you suggested I do on your previous communication I later in the day tried the web site in question again, just for curiosity, and was allowed in without any warnings. I have tried this site several times since and received no warnings. Any ideas? However, I still can not add exclusions. I tried to download the file above but it seems to hang. If I click on the "log in" button is asks for an employee log in. I am going to reboot and try again. I'll update after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 10, 2019 Author ID:1316550 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Worked that time. Attached is the file generated. mb-cbs-log.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidTension Posted June 11, 2019 ID:1316692 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thank you for the file. No issues there. We haven't had any other reports of the issue you're encountering and are unable to reproduce it, so the cause is likely something specific to your machine (third-party software configuration, hardware issue, etc). Did you carry out the clean boot instructions from earlier? Here's a copy: Perform Clean Boot Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type msconfig and click OK. On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, select the Hide all Microsoft services check box. Click Disable all. Scroll through the list and look for Malwarebytes Service. Place a checkmark next to this. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, click Open Task Manager. On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable. Close Task Manager. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, click OK and then restart the computer. Log back into your normal user account. After performing the clean boot, please open Malwarebytes and check if the issue still occurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 11, 2019 Author ID:1316722 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Already did this per your request last Friday. Same result, unable to add exclusion. Any other ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 14, 2019 Root Admin ID:1317071 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hello @espilman As the previous logs and ideas did not seem to produce valid information to verify the cause, I would like to suggest you try doing a Clean Removal using our tool as explained in the link below and let us know if that corrects the issue or not. https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-2674 Thank you Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 15, 2019 Author ID:1317187 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Crap, did what you asked. Ran the tool, it appeared to run as you said it would but I still have the same problem. When I click on add exclusions, the Malwarebytes window freezes, I am unable to do anything additional in Malwarebytes and I have to use the Task Manager to get rid of the window. Any other ideas? Thanks for trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 15, 2019 Root Admin ID:1317196 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Please run the following for me. Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready. STEP 01 Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop. Right-click on the program and select Run as Administrator to start the tool. Accept the Terms of use. Wait until the database is updated. Click Scan Now. When finished, please click Clean & Repair. Your PC should reboot now if any items were found. After reboot, a log file will be opened. Copy its content into your next reply. RESTART THE COMPUTER Before running Step 3 STEP 02 Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer. Press the Scan button. It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply. The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a check mark here. Please attach the Additions.txt log to your reply as well. Thanks Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 15, 2019 Author ID:1317211 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Ron, did what you asked and the three files are attached. Hopefully you will be able to solve my problem. Thanks for trying? AdwCleaner[C00].txt FRST.txt Addition.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
espilman Posted June 15, 2019 Author ID:1317215 Share Posted June 15, 2019 BTW, after doing the above scans I still can not add exclusions. The Malwarebytes window freezes up and I have to use task manager to get out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 16, 2019 Root Admin ID:1317387 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Can I have you temporarily uninstall your Avast antivirus. Windows 10 comes with Window Defender antivirus that is pretty good so the computer won't be without protection while we continue to investigate your issue. Please use the Avast uninstall utility to help remove it. https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility Once done, then reboot the computer one more time and run FRST again and get both new logs again. Any questions please let me know Thank you again Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
