How to make malwarebytes start at system startup

[ThumperSD]

For some reason it stopped automatically starting at system startup. There seems to be no option to make it start at system startup in the program itself.

Hello ThumperSD:

Do you have Full/Pro version of MBAM? This and other functionality, like auto update, scheduled scan, real-time protection, and IP blocking are only available in Full/Pro version of MBAM

Free version is only on-demand. Should you have any other question(s) please post back

Hi Thumper -

As you have the paid version , you can do an Un/Re Install if you think your version of the program is corrupted (Keep your ID and Key somewhere)

The other problem could be if you altered your Antivirus/Firewall programs -

Please let me know if the above is the problem - Otherwise Reinstall the program as below - Thanks -

Note: You will need to reactivate the program using the license you were sent via email if using the Paid version only

Launch the program and set the Protection and Registration. Then go to the UPDATE tab if not done during installation and check for updates.

Restart the computer again and verify that MBAM is in the task tray if using the Pro version. Now reset any file exclusions as may be required in your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security/Firewall applications and restart your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security applications.

You may use the guides posted in the FAQ's here or ask me and I'll explain how to do it.
