black screen logging in after updating to 1.43

[mkruzel]

I bought the full version of Malwarebytes version 1.42 a couple days ago and updated to 1.43. I rebooted the computer when I got prompted and when I logged in it took several minutes for the desktop to come up. I rebooted the computer in safe mode one time and then rebooted again. After the 2nd reboot my desktop came up so I'm not sure what the initial problem if it is with the install of 1.43. I really haven't had too many problems updating Malwarebytes.

I'm using a Dell XPS 420 (700 gig hard drive, Intel 2.40 ghz quad core processor and 4 gig of ram).

Hello mkruzek -

There can be several reasons related to a black(greying) screen - One of them is a new infection called Trojan Daonol -
