Anyone running the βeta components in MB 3, you might want to revert to stable - the latest CU 273 is doing all kinds of strange things.
Reverting is a bit complicated, but can be fully automated using the MB Clean utility (even with licensed installs, it will automate the process of removing MB, asking you to reboot, and then on reboot will ask if you want to install the latest version, and will enter the license info back in as well.
According to Deven Collins, MB Product Support Service Engineer (dcollins - Malwarebytes Forums) that i the way to do it.
See my threads regarding some insanity at 2 different forums when using MB 3 with βeta components enabled:

DroidRzr.com - Advanced post reply screen blocked intermittently [SOLVED] - Website Blocking - Malwarebytes Forums
As well as others having issues due to the CU 273 test:
Supremo Remote control will not connect CU 273 - Malwarebytes 3.x Beta - Malwarebytes Forums
CU 1.0.273 brings back an already solved issue - Malwarebytes 3.x Beta - Malwarebytes Forums
Problem with new CU: Malwarebytes blocks me from posting on SMF forums - Malwarebytes 3.x Beta - Malwarebytes Forums
If you are not running βeta components (check in settings --> Application tab) then you should be fine, of course.
email from iobit. They have agreed a refund:
Please kindly note that IObit has never stolen any company's database.
Currently, our program files are detected as PUP (potentially unwanted programs) by Malwarebytes. However, PUP is a very controversial topic since it also makes legit programs as PUP. This detection does not mean we stole any company's database.
I agree with them about the PP flagging - I have plenty of utilities that are marked as PUPs by MB as well.
But they're lying through their teeth when they say they haven't stolen anyone's database - the empirical proof was in the special test case the devs at MB had for a very particular signature that returned the same value in MB database and in IOBit's database - and no one elses.
I'm probably a day late and a dollar short, but:
Meltdown and Spectre: what you need to know - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes LabsUPDATE (as of 1/04/18): Since the Malwarebytes Database Update 1.0.3624, all Malwarebytes users are able to receive the Microsoft patch to mitigate Meltdown.
Maybe some of you can help me: since yesterday, it is impossible to set up protection in real time (version 3.3.1).
I also tried manually, but without success. I tried with and without delay of 15 seconds. No way.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.
Many different options here, but one of them would be to head over to MB forums to have assistance to have your machine checked for malware.
Another would be to head over there and just ask for regular (non-malware-related) assistance. ( I would start with this). Here is the link: Malwarebytes 3 - Malwarebytes Forums
It's best if you let them take a look at what is going on - it could be anything from malware on your machine to an incompatibility with a driver n your particular system, but it is their product and they know it best - so let them help.
