You need to add MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) files into avast! Internet Security Exclusions like AVG requires.

add everything as instructed set Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to start with windows but its not showing in taskbar and I get a error "[OpenEvent] Failed to perform desired action. Error code 2, which disable the protection. There is no where to exclude in firewall, its set to allow. thanks for all respond.

I think I found the problem, the service was disable, once I started it the program showed.

Do a couple restarts to make sure it is still working for you.....

I will and let you all know, thanks again

[ronnell]

well, thanks everyone that offered help but its up and running well, did a couple of restarts and it still good, didn't need to add the exclusions at all just allow the firewall. It did a schedule scan last night and the log was clean. So all is good.

I am glad it worked for you, if you have any other issues or questions don't hesitate to ask.

That's good news.

Looking forward to V5.1 due out real soon that will support x64bit Boot-time scan although thankfully I have never needed it.
