#REINSTALL MALWAREBYTES 3.0 PREMIUM INSTALL#
It was right after that install that I began to experience extreme issues with restart/shutdown, which would hang endlessly as I watched the small blue counterclockwise 'wait/patience' orb spin for what seemed an eternity, with Power-button pushing followed by Safe Mode as the only viable option for troubleshooting.Ī visit to the Mbam forums revealed that I was not the only one with performance troubles. There were no issues installing it my premium credentials were transferred to the newer version, scans were scheduled-it appeared to be a routine install. When I learned of the newer Mbam 3 I was at first hesitant and skeptical as I hardly ever go near betas of any kind. When it became available I installed their free anti-exploit, kept it for a while past the evaluation stage but noticed recurring issues of a minor nature with it and my 64bit Windows 7 desktop. While I forget now what specific version number it was it ran pretty much trouble-free and there were no issues with periodic updates. I nabbed a lifetime Mbam license right before they were discontinued.
What works and functions fine for millions may make your computer as slow as frozen shit. Software- anybody's software is often a frustrating, curious thing.
