Thanks for your help Porthos. After unregistering Malwarebytes in the Windows Security Center, are both Malwarebytes and Defender protecting against malware?

Done. I have turned off "Always register Malwarebytes in the Windows Security Center" I have also applied this to my other Malwarebytes 5.1 protected Windows 10 system. Windows Security One Drive access is not enabled.

Your requested copy of mbst-grab-results.zip is attached. Your instructions were followed, including the disabling of 'Fast Startup'. This has since been re-enabled. mbst-grab-results.zip

Malwarebytes 5.1 occasionally stops working, the MB icon vanishes from the bar at the bottom of the display screen and Windows Security shows a red mark in the system tray. After a short time, Malwarebytes will restart without user intervention.and the MB icon reappears while Windows Security once again shows a green mark. I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Is there a diagnostic reporting tool I can run and, if so, where do I find it?

I see that Open Office starter program (soffice.exe) is on the list of Protected applications but the component programs (e.g. swriter.exe) are not. Does this matter? If a Open Office component program is started independently of soffice.exe, is it protected? Also, is email client Thunderbird protected? Is there protection against maliciuous attachments? MBAE enables this to be specifically protected.

Issue fixed? I have just observed MBAE 1.13.568 being automatically updated to 1.13.585.

It's called enlightened self-interest. This software is much valued.

Thanks Arthi.

I guess that no one can update MBAE from version 1.13 Build 568 except by performing the update manually. Many users will be unaware of the new version being available. Does this mean the end of MBAE Free?

Anti-Exploit 1.13 Build 568 is not being automatically updated to Build 585. It can be updated by using the appropriate downloaded installation excutable. The Automatically upgrade to new versions setting is enabled.

I have read (cannot remember where) that it is recommended that any Optional cumulative update preview, now or in the future, is not to be installed.

UPDATE: The penetration test toggle was not enabled.

Hi Arthi. I will try to find out.

I cannot give any details because this happened to two separate non-tech users who were unable to supply me with televant information. They are located 60+ miles away from me. The process is run from a .bat file and the user is requested to permit it to run with administrator privileges. The .bat file contains the following two lines: - sfc /scannow cmd /k The system file check runs to 100% completion but MBAE then steps in and interrupts the process. System file check is prevented from presenting the results of the check. I gave the affected users this .bat file procedure to simplify doing a system file check. That is a much as I can tell you. It hasn't happened to me. When I do this, I type 'sfc /scannow' into the command window.

I use a 2007 Toshiba Satellite Pro P200 (1.8GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, SSD) which has a lovely display screen. Windows 10 Pro lately seems to need more processor power and my only option to mitiigate this has been to uninstall MBARW and rely on Windows Defender. Fortunately MBAE is very light on resources. MBARW overheads are unnoticeable on more recent hardware. This is not a complaint, just for information. I assume that MBARW is behaviour based. Am I correct? I would not allow a Windows PC/laptop to operate without it, except with very good reason.
