2. Other than the usual MBAM files recommended for exclusion, e.g.:

Hi alhazred -

This is the latest full list of exclusions, since you did not mention your O/S all are included - (approved by exile360) - Make sure your Firewall is also included -

There are more than in your list , but I do not know if you included your full list -

Exclude Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware's Files and Folders From Other Active Security Programs:
