I get that also, cpu spins up, my fans that are controlled by Corsair link (my water cooler for CPU) also speed up everytime the cpu goes up from MalwareBytes. No other app in my entire Task Manager uses as much memory as MB does....not even close.
Think they STILL have a Memory leak.
I just uninstalled MB3 and banned it from my main PC forever.
I just received 2 BSODs back to back, then it didn't even want to complete a scan.
It has also BSOD'd before a couple times.
If I get a BSOD, it should be my fault, from trying to push my CPU a tad higher, not from an antimalware program.
Like I told @Kari around New Year's, this year, I'm not putting up with any software crap, and software, be it 3rd party, or from Microsoft will get banned when it doesn't perform as it should specially after an update... but only from the machine it's not working on.
I don't have time to go through any rig-o-marole and try to see what's causing it. I use the same software as I have for years, and if after an update, it gets weird, it goes.
Oh yes, our New Year's resolutions. Mine was not to start drinking workdays before 6 PM. I hope your resolution has worked / will work better than mine...
Seriously, I can understand your new policy. It makes a lot of sense; your main PC is there to serve you, allow you to do whatever it is you want to do with it. If you continuously need time and effort to get a particular piece of software working, it's not worth of itt.
What neverved is, I had turned off the rootkit scan a while ago, as many others were getting BSODs from it. I wasn't, but with my BIOS settings, not rootkit is going to be able to get foot on my system:
TPM set to 2.0 only(not auto)
windows 7 install turned off, only the newer 8.1 & 10 allowed
Custom secure boot for my TPM keys
I had BSODs which occurred as soon as I'd go on the Internet when MBAM 3 first was released and had a support ticket going for awhile; but the latest version (3.06.1469, non beta) has been good except occasionally upon first boot one of the protections needs to be manually started. It's always a different one, Web Protection one day, Ransomware Protection some other day. It makes you wonder if they're really on but showing in the interface as off, or are they even really on when you put them on manually. Doesn't exactly instill confidence.
The only problem I had with the latest version was twice it reverted back to the free version and I needed to reinstall; this when I have a lifetime license. But I found that Shadow Defender was the culprit causing some glitch. Still, MBAM 2.0 never had that problem with Shadow Defender.
They've got work to do and I'm not sold on keeping MBAM should other troubles arise.
