problem with "mbamservice.exe"


Recommended Posts

Well I am not one of the developers or anything but, if you really want to stop this service you have to disable the service under computer management. The service you are looking for is MBAMService.

This however is not recommended due to the fact that if you ever want to run a scan with Malwarebytes, you will not be able to cause you will get an errors.

And then there is one other way, is to completely uninstall Malwarebytes, which is also not recommended because Malwarebytes is the BEST in Malware protection and removal, at least in my book....
