Malwarebytes' on Startup

Lately, I have been prompted by UAC for permission for Malwarebytes' to continue right after I log in. This did not happen at all a week ago.

Anyone have a clue as to why it keeps asking me now?

Thanks.

I guess you have the paid version with realtime protection? I know they released an updated version about a week ago. Maybe the problem started after this update, you think? I have the free version myself and cannot really say what happened. Easiest solution is probably to uninstall the program from Control Panel and reinstall it again. First check that the UAC really is asking about the Malwarebytes program and nothing else. You should see name and path in the message box, otherwise expand it by clicking "details" bottom left.

Nah I use the free version. I'll give reinstalling a shot. I hadn't considered that might be a fix.

As for UAC, it asks permission to run some sort of cleanup from malwarebytes'

MalwareBytes seems to be getting more and more buggy. Between the "IP Protection" blocking perfectly good IPs, and no ability to "white list" them, and a fun new problem I've found, it seems to think a mirc script is malware, despite the fact that I have added it to the ignore list, every time it runs it still asks me if it's ok, and since 1.41, when I tell it to ignore, it made the whole ap crash! Hopefully there are some MAJOR changes in 1.42

In regards only to the Malwarebytes issue, the problem stems from MalwareBytes trying to run a cleanup script at system start. To prevent this do the following,

1. Open regedit
2. Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
3. Delete or modify the entry for MalwareByte's

Basically you want to either remove it completely or remove the extra trigger at the end. If you do this it will not try to run at start up and you wont get the error "Windows has blocked some programs from starting,...".

I realize the last post here was 2 weeks ago, but I just figured this out after it bugging me for 3 days. I figured my first post here may as well be something that could be useful to somebody.
