Like everyone else when I updated to MalwareBytes 3.0 Web Protection would not start. Rebooting and trying to start Web Protection failed.
I was resigned that I would live with Web Protection not working until a fix was pushed. I then configured MalwareBytes to my usual start settings: All protections turned ON, Start MalwareBytes at Windows startup: ON, Delay Real-Time Protection when MalwareBytes starts: OFF, Enable self-protection module early start: ON. At the next reboot I was notified as usual that Web Protection was turned off. I clicked the notification to start Web Protection and it started!!!
After 4 days Web Protection is starting each time at boot and stays started.
I am running Windows 7 with latest updates.
I don't know if this will help anybody but good luck.
