Hi,

Thanks for posting in the Malwarebytes for Windows Help forum.

If you are having technical issues with our Windows product, please do the following:

Malwarebytes Support Tool - Advanced Options

This feature is designed for the following reasons:

  • For use when you are on the forums and need to provide logs for assistance
  • For use when you don't need or want to create a ticket with Malwarebytes
  • For use when you want to perform local troubleshooting on your own

How to use the Advanced Options:

Spoiler
  1. Download Malwarebytes Support Tool
  2. Double-click mb-support-X.X.X.XXXX.exe to run the program
    • You may be prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow changes to be made to your computer. Click Yes to consent.
  3. Place a checkmark next to Accept License Agreement and click Next
  4. Navigate to the Advanced tab
  5. The Advanced menu page contains four categories:
    • Gather Logs: Collects troubleshooting information from the computer. As part of this process, Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) is run to perform a complete diagnosis. The information is saved to a file on the Desktop named mbst-grab-results.zip and can be added as an email attachment or uploaded to a forum post to assist with troubleshooting the issue at hand.
    • Clean: Performs an automated uninstallation of all Malwarebytes products installed to the computer and prompts to install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows afterwards. The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
    •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
    • Anonymously help the community by providing usage and threat statistics: Unchecking this option will prevent Malwarebytes Support Tool from sending anonymous telemetry data on usage of the program.
  6. To provide logs for review click the Gather Logs button
  7. Upon completion, click OK
  8. A file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your Desktop
  9. Please attach the file in your next reply.
  10. To uninstall all Malwarebytes Products, click the Clean button.
  11. Click the Yes button to proceed. 
  12. Save all your work and click OK when you are ready to reboot.
  13. After the reboot, you will have the option to re-install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows.
  14. Select Yes to install Malwarebytes.
  15. Malwarebytes for Windows will open once the installation completes successfully.

Same as what Porthos said above   ^^^^

You mention "emails".   Do you mean you made a few separate emails to Support ?   More than one ?

or did you create a help ticket directly on the Support site ?

Keep in mind that the automated system makes a initial automated reply.   That the Support is quite likely busy with earlier cases.

You say you have the support tool.  Did you already do the Gather logs step?   if so, attach the ZIP file in your reply, and  give a brief but to the point description of the main issue.   But if it is on licensing, please stick with support.

My computer crashed in June. The hard drive had to be erased and the software had to be re-installed.

The re-installation of malwarebytes did not work so I asked customer support for help.

Here are my emails with customer support:

Thanks

I thought that everything was OK but it is not working. 
I tried to delete it from Programs in the Control Panel but I get the message " You do not have sufficient access to remove Malwarebytes  version 4.1.0.56 from the Programs and Features List".
 
How is this possible since I am theAdministrator?
 
What do I do?

There were replies by Support.  It's not like there were never any replies.  Then the last exchanges look to be dated July 2,  which then would have run into the  ( likely)  reduced staffing due to July 4 holiday.

You already have the Support tool on your machine.
