If you are running this on your PC switch it off before it updates, crashing computers all over the globe including mine.

I went for the uninstall option. Will reinstall once they've fixed it.

Thanks for the heads-up. Have uninstalled it temporarily.

Me too.

I updated and ran a full scan at about 16:00 today. No problems, but I’ll check when I next fire up the laptop.
Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. Some folk, like me, need all the good advice they can get :notworthy:

Downloaded the freeware version, popped in the key and ID from my renewal email, boom! Malwarebytes premium back in the room.

Is real time protection still turned off, think this is what was causing all the problems.
