Malwarebytes stops computer
I have been running Malwarebytes on my wife's laptop since we purchased it. I do also run NIS. Everything was fine until a later 8.1 update. Possibly when they quit the lifetime upgrade version. The machine became unresponsive and desktop manager showed a malwarebytes process using mostly all the CPU and Memory. I had to uninstall it to restore acceptable functioning. After the upgrade to Windows 10, I tried reinstalling it. Same issue. Uninstalled it again.
I did try turning off all resident scans, update and protection. None of these helped. I also installed the free version with no resident anything. Worked a few times and it now is showing the same symptoms.
I am using it on W7 Ultimate and the free version on the W10 Pro machine, I am on.
