Malwarebytes is the worst software ever.
I literally feel like smashing my head against a brick F'ing wall. Malwarebytes is the worst antivirus software ever, so i basically brought a premium code for malware and enter the code in and turned on web protection but got stuck on starting up. So i looked on the internet tried to figure out whats causing the issue and nothing worked, so i uninstalled that malware and it crashed my computer for some reason. Is there any antivirus software better than malwarebytes that i could try? Thanks.

Malwarebytes is having issues at the moment, I'd wait for a fix.

I've been doing with Windows Defender only for quite some time now, does the trick.
Using the malwarebytes beta in my browser.. pretty good. I like the fact that they let you choose for a temp or perm unblock of a website if the block was in error.

Malwarebytes is having an issue with their latest update, it has a bad memory leak that will eat up all your RAM. Till a fix is posted, they recommend disabling MB by doing the following
Go to the services app (I only know how to do it on windows 7 ... "control panel -> Administrative tools -> services"). Find "Malwarebytes service", and set its "Startup Type" to be "disabled". Then restart your system.

I have windows 10, wnet to control panel and it does not say "administrative tools".

Right, off to the malwarebytes support page to give them some mouthful saying this is a disgrace and should never work with software if they can not get their crap together.

Stop raging and let them fix it, they've been one of the best software developers for security for a long time.

And what do you think the people in Malwarebytes are doing right now? No not sucking their thumbs, they have been hard at it all day trying to fix the problem.

If you made a mistake in college you would have to stay behind for two hours! Wow you really don't have much patience or understanding of things. Malwarebytes have had staff working on the issue for many hours on top of their normal days work. They will remain till the problem is sorted. That's dedication.
