The little roll up 'alert' came up once several hours AFTER the computer had been on for awhile, with all protections active! I turned it on manually once again

'Fooling' around with it will usually get it to go on. If can work fine for several days, the refuse to come up the next day. The most annoying thing is that the problem is not consistent. STILL having problems with the Web module starting with the rest of them. I would think any bugs would have been corrected by now. Have not checked with MB's forums yet, and wondered if anyone else has been having this or similar problems. Not sure why this happens or what I can do about it, or if it is related to the Web Protection not starting problem.

With this particular system, I have to manually turn on the Windows firewall and Windows Defender, although WD does seem to start on its own after a long delay. Also, the other day, got an alert that the program needed to be updated, but I thought that was automatic with this new version.that only happened once. Once on, all protections stay on the rest of the day. SEVERAL times I attempted to turn it on and it simply would say 'STARTING'.įinally, did a restart and got it to work. It only happens occasionally, which is puzzling, This morning, after firing up the Windows 7 system, It briefly showed that everything was turned on, THEN, it showed it that the Web Protection was turned off and I got the little alert down in the lower right corner.

However, PC Mag in its review of MB3 explains why this might never happen.Still have the same problem mentioned in the previous post. Malwarebytes will be making a real mistake if it does not subject MB3 to independent tests by the likes of AV-Test and AV-Comparatives in the new year. Whether MB3 is better than MBAM 2 at detecting/removing malware as a scanner is another unknown - PC Mag's brief review of MB3 Free suggests it might not be: You end up with essentially the features of MBAM 2.x Free, but with a faster scan, and a slightly slower load time and higher memory usage. Of course if you use MB3 as an on-demand scanner only (which is what you will end up with after the trial period expires, unless you purchase an annual subscription) you lose the anti-exploit, anti-ransomware, and website protection features. Whether it can co-exist nicely with a full security suite is unknown Malwarebytes is silent on that question. Fair enough, but Malwarebytes does claim that it can be run in real-time without disabling or uninstalling your AV (which was my experience using Sophos Home AV). The reviewer seems reluctant to run MB3 (Full trial version) in real-time alongside his security suite, preferring to use it like MBAM 2.x Free as an on-demand scanner only. That's a reasonable review of the features offered.
