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.

Well I’ve got MWB Premium on 1 Win 7 system and Pro on another. The Premium one seems to be experiencing the memory issue, while the Pro version is blocking websites(have seen this before, and it too required a malwarebytes fix/update)

if you saw mem usage increase, you should have been able to see what the memory hog was also

are you using windoze task manager?

Memory leaks can be a bitch to find. Lots of fun when it’s a mission critical system! Once did a 106 hour week over one of those.

I use XYplorer https://www.xyplorer.com which is a better folder program then Windows explorer. Of late though it would take maybe 10 seconds for a folder to open the first time. I had added it as an exception to malwarebytes and Webroot anti-virus but it still there would be a pause. I disabled both to see if the folder open right away and still a pause.

I just did an update to the latest XYplorer and enabled both malwarebytes and Webroot and now the folder snaps open.
Maybe the update of malwarebytes fixed it or XYplerer or the combo. All I know it is working for now.
