Windows 10: Malwarebytes Web Protection Won't Enable

Yesterday afternoon MB blocked several attempts while on a web site. No problem though. This morning Web Protection is off. Trying to enable it says it's "Starting" and then reverts to off. Have tried everything I know. Anyone got suggestions?





Attempting to run a scan is an instant failure. Only lasts a millisecond and finds nothing.

Internet explorer 11 "stops working" with Windows 10

If you are running Malwarebytes it can block opening some web sites. Open the program and under Real Time Protection turn off "Exploit Protection" and see if that then enables IE to work. I have raised this problem with Malwarebytes but not got a response.
You do need to ensure your PC is protected with some other software though. Firefox was also affected before but is now working. The odd thing is that the web site that was being blocked was just the Google search engine.

 

• Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.239.792.0) - Error 0x80070643

I had the same issue- did all the find and fix- reset- sfc /scannow - dism etc..

THEN I turned off Malwarebytes Premium 3.0.6 Real time Protection

1. web protection

2. Exploit Protection

3. Malware Protection

4. Ransomware Protection

Ran update and it worked as it should- then turned all the Malwarebytes 1-4 back on

 

This is a Known problem this morning ....Everyone has this issue today, lots of people have already reported this on MB's forum. Its due to the latest updates you received this morning, we have to wait for MB to send us another update. As of now, there is NO fix.

 

Check out this link on MB's site...lots of very upset people.
Protection keeps turning off... V3.1.2 - Malwarebytes 3 - Malwarebytes Forums

 

It was fixed in 3.0.6, but it keeps reappearing. Like anyone is taking MB3 seriously, it is a joke product. *Rolleyes

 

Yea, but I'm waiting for them to reply and say there is nothing wrong. It must be our fault it doesn't work right.

 

Well Hell! What do I buy to protect me from Malwarebytes now?

 

If you are serious about protection, you should buy Zemana or Emsisoft. Malwarebytes died with version 3.

 

Its just a bug in the latest updates we received this morning. Soon as MB sends us the fix, everything will be working again. Just need to have a little patience *Smile

 

*Roflmao2 On the upside, in this state it's not the Memory Hog it usually is!

 

Hang in there, we will get a fix sometime today. *Smile

 

Having this problem as well.

 

EVERYONE is this morning....soon as the latest updates are installed. *Smile

 

Mike, the eternal optimist. *Smile I don't remember when the first Beta of V3 was, but it's been this way for me ever since. I think I have shown a lot of patience. I'm on version 2 now. It works.
