Ransomware Warning

I had it installed and afterwards, it opened up and told me I was protected. I did not read everything it said, and I "x" it out.

NOW, I tried to open its desktop shortcut, but it will not open.

Same thing happened to me. I did a restart and it worked again.

I just finished uninstalling it > then reinstall.
Again I am protected window appeared.
I still cannot open the desktop shortcut.

Mine still work's good, I opened it several times this morning and had it installed for three days now.
Maybe you can find the answer here.

Yes. Restart does the trick.

It's opening now.

Last question :
Do I still need to run the |Malwarebytes ant-virus free edition ?
I suppose so, but just want to make sure.

I had to much trouble running Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomeware so I uninstalled it. I'm going to wait for a few more updates than I'll try it again. Until than I have my backups if I need them.

Yes, I have the paid version and I did not touch any settings in it.
The anti-ransome and anti-exploit both run well with the regular MBAM.

What trouble did you have ?
I installed it and there is nothing to do, no setting at all to change.

It blocked my Office 365 install. I had to reinstall Office to get it working again.

MB Antiransomware is in beta. Running beta anti anything on beta system is usually not a good thing to do.

But we are all living on the Edge here.

If you have problems, you can try Cryptoprevent.

I knew was beta when I installed it. I only installed it for testing. I will be testing it again after a few updates.
