Win7 x64 + FIrefox 3.6.8 + Malwarebyte 1.46 = bluescreen ?

[SwissSteph]

Hello

My perhaps a problem, I have some time, a "bluescreen" using "Firefox" ... one thing is certain, I did not have these problems before you install it. If you have any ideas where I can find before I uninstall Malwarebyte!?

Thank you for your advice (and sorry for my bad english)

[Firefox]

Hello and

I have not heard of any problems with Malwarebytes causing any blue screens.....

What other security software do you have installed on this computer? Anti-Virus software? Firewall?

Sorry for not having thought to mention in my first message:

- Avast (free) 5.0.594

- Comodo Firewall 4.1.150349.920

... and Windows 7 Pro x64 !

No problem with Avast (free) 5.0.594

Do not use Comodo Firewall 4.1.150349.920 nor Firefox

Had no issues with Win7/64, FF 3.6.8 and MBAM Pro 1.46 running McAfee 2009 (bundled on my Dell PC).

MBAM protection module played just fine with McAfee, and I never had (nor would I have expected) any problems with MBAM and FF.

Just doesn't sound to me (NO expert, just a home user) like it might caused by something other than this particular software combo.

I also have no problems with Win7/32, FF 3.6.8, MBAM Pro 1.46 and the most recent version of Weboot ISE (7.*) on my laptop.

(A recent McAfee version update resulted in my having to factory image my PC (don't ask), and I have switched from McAfee to KIS2011.

But I have yet to reinstall MBAM -- will probably run MBAM Free for a while (as suggested by the Kaspersky folks), at least until I am comfortable enough with configuring it to test whether MBAM Pro is compatible or necessary...)

FWIW, BSOD sounds more like a hardware issue, perhaps???

Or, could you be infected?

I don't use W7 or Comodo or Avast!, but I do use Firefox 3.6.8 & Malwarebytes and no problems here.

Thank you for your comments and ideas. Obviously we have not the same computer and hardware

I'll still wait for the next "bluescreen" and then remove "Malwarebytes". Then I will "wait" another "bluescreen" which should not happen ...

Hi SwissSteph,

Awhile back ago there was some issues with Avast and malwarebytes'. I use Comodo and malwarebytes', but have had no issues with them. Now the new version of avast has had a history of issues with other software. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the combination of them. Try removing avast and see if it helps.

Thank you for your information. I have, for now, no new 'Bluescreen' deplorable. I just installed (for the first time) "10.61 Opera" and I find it really good (for now) ... I am still hoping to do some tests to have no problem

You will find that Buttons is a bit of an alarmist as he/she does not run Avast and has not kept up with Avast advances.
