Hello @ThrashZone

Similarly to the request I passed to @dbartenstein above, may I request you run a similar MBST-Grab and start your own separate topic in the Malwarebytes BETA sub-forum?

Thank you!

I had a paid version of Malwarebytes, lifetime licence, but Kaspersky did not like and would not stop telling me to take it out, so I did. Glad to see its still going though

No the free one, I just use it as a manual scan one a month in case my AV misses anything, but Norton never has yet.
All sorted now, I downloaded from their site rather than an update

@WXC the only difference is the update package version and that is ok as is thanks WXC

Good deal. Glad you got it sorted. :wink:

Thanks WXC, I don't think it is much of a problem as some of the numbers are the installer rather than the program features, also the difference between free and paid versions I believe

Malwarebytes has gone off the rails again - now blocking google docs....absolutely ridiculous, I really do think we need to have a serious discussion if we should carry on recommending this software!

This is a browser guard only issue. The developers have been notified.
If you turn it off on the affected sites the sites will work.

Blocking Google docs is amateur hour.

This is the result of releasing a major change Friday afternoon and then having the weekend off. No one around right away to correct the issue.

Major change on a Friday and then going home for the weekend....FFS, I thought this was a professional company :eyeroll:

Browser guard is managed by a whole separate team.
My opinion is now that it is pushed/foisted so hard alongside the main program, it should have better oversight.
