Thanks Dave, that¡¯s what I bought, the premium version¡ the trial version worked fine, but apparently it doesn¡¯t do more than scan?

", when configured for continuous monitoring, has been reported to cause significant slowdowns, however, one-time scans are not problematic; see the?

+ The
Additional Notes contain this report from Bill G4WJS (now SK):
"The Malwarebytes premium version protects Internet service ports by monitoring traffic, if it sees traffic going to a local server that it does not know about it grabs that port and sits on it so no other applications can run a service on that port. It can be very confusing as the first packet of information will be delivered then the service trying to use the port then gets blocked by the Malwarebytes service that hijacks the port. This can be hard to trace using normal system tools as the hijacked port is held by a Windows service process that cannot be easily attributed to Malwarebytes.
To diagnose this, use the 'netstat -abn' command from an Administrator command prompt and check the output for the port the non-working service application is expected to be listening on. If the listening process is shown as svchost.exe then a Windows service is using the port. The final step is to move the non-working service to another free port and if that too then appears to be in use by a svchost.exe process then Malwarebytes is probably the culprit."
+ I only recommend the use Malwarebytes for one-time scans.
