I pretty much wasted a whole night when I could of been gaming uninstalling and reinstalling the app because I’m OCD when there is a computer problem. But I finally found someone online who had the same problem who said it started 8/30. I hadn’t turned my PC on in a few days (3) till today so I can’t confirm the start date but I can confirm with the latest version of malwarebytes you can scan your system again by disabling the the browser guard extension in your browser. In my case I was using the latest version of Edge. With extension enabled it just says oops something went wrong trying to scan your system. So I wanted to post to save others the headache.

Thank you!
That's one more thing I can add to my long list of reasons why I don't, and never will, use Malwarebytes. (again)

OH yes, like so many 'followers' I had it once. Found it to be useless, deleted it, and never looked back.

The one program that I found NOT Useless, and FREE, is "SuperAntiSpyware", which is really the only program that I've found to find and get rid of "Tracking Cookies" as well as Trojans. Being the free version, it only updates and scans when I tell it to. KISS!

Bit late to the party I know, but for me it was the VPN in Browser essentials that did it. Malwarebytes' Browser Guard had no effect. 🤷‍♂️
