Hi,

I've been using the purchased version of malewarebytes for over a year now and today the program just wouldn't start. I received an error code and an anouncement that malewarebytes was terminated unexpectantly. The error code:

MBAM_ERROR_LOAD_DATABASE (0,5)

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance

Nadine
