Problems with Malwarebytes

4 December 2016, 12:16

Have the premium version and it certainly seemed good until the last few days. Now it seems to be blocking far too many websites, hard to believe they are all a problem. Today it stopped me running System Mechanic, it treats every IOLO file as a PUP. More worryingly, saw a message that made me think it was blocking Trusteer, the security program that you download from your bank's websites.

Anyone else getting these problems?

It seems they've been having recent problems with a Microsoft update: https://www.askwoody.com/2016/malwar...omment-page-1/

Dunno if that's related to the issues you're seeing.

Cheers Nick. Not sure on reasons but managed to add all 64 or so IOLO folders, files and registry keys to ignore list. I'll see if it stays so quite so fussy about websites.
