could this be why google searching is not working for me??? Yes I mostly use DuckDuck Go so no darts my way please
The Web has no shortage of complexity.
Interesting. I use MalWareBytes on Windows 7. I’ve noticed today that my memory usage repeatedly began to increase constantly until system failure. I could find no obvious cause. This is a possible clue.
Mine came up warning that virus detection was shut off. I turned it on but it wouldn’t stay on, so figured I have been attacked. Went to MWB and downloaded a fresh copy. When I sent to restart, my OS selector skips by so quickly I end up here on Linux Mint and am unable to get back in Windows. Some say this is a good thing ... LOL
Yup - I had to kill the Malwarebytes service earlier this morning. Good to see they’re aware of the issue and working on it.
I have Malwarebyes Premium installed on a Win 7 computer, but do not let it load on startup, so I haven’t downloaded any updates in a few days. Guess I’ll just wait it out for a few more days.
Since this has gotten the attention of several Malwarebytes users, is anyone using Malwarebytes as their only real-time, anti-virus/anti-malware protection? It has that capability now, but doesn’t score so high with some testing services.
MalwareBytes Premium has been shutting down my laptop this a.m......black screen.....and, it’s up to date
Malwarebytes screwed up my main computer. I am using my laptop.
thank you for posting this...
my computer shut down twice today after telling me there was not enough memory and my malwarebytes program was showing a red flag- I had no clue what was happening.....i’m wondering if i should/can shut malwarebytes down for a while..
Explains a lot. My computer started locking up, screen going black, and Malwarebytes web protection refusing to turn on. I thought I was under attack.
I then forced it to update itself and following that everything cleared up.That's been in the last half hour.
This explains what happened to me this morning. I was about to post a comment on Lisa Page needing to get protection when everything seized. I wondered if the NSA had disabled my machine! Everything slowed to a crawl. I ended up disconnecting my machine and blowing the dust out of it before restarting and updating my virus protections. It was good. I needed to blow the dust out anyway.
Thank you all for this thread.
I took a break from shopping for a new laptop today and checked in to FR on my phone.
“AHAH!” I exclaimed. My laptop wasn’t beyond hope!
All the symptoms I was experiencing this morning were being discussed here.
Finally back in the game!
Thank you all, again!
Freepers are the best!
