    IMPORTANT: Web Blocking / RAM Usage Issue

    All,
    We're aware of an issue with a protection update that shipped an hour ago that is causing all web traffic to be blocked and RAM usage to climb. We are triaging this right now with all hands on deck. I will have an update shortly with root cause and will share with all of you as I get information.
    I completely appreciate the pain this is causing our users and we are working hard to resolve this.

    RAM usage - what is going on?
    Extremely high memory usage
    Web protection will not turn on
    Malwarebytes services eating up memory (logs attached)
    MBAMservice sucks up 50+gb of ram, and eventually forces windows to reboot

    Problem fixed. You need to update to 1.0.3803 package version, then reboot. That fixes the run away memory leak and Web protection not turning on.

    Major fiasco for Malwarebytes though. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of computers trashed. I'm waiting for a call from my brothers and some friends
