Also does Malwarebytes Antimalware start at system startup?
Yes, MBam starts with system start up.

- Click the "Download" button to the right.
- Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
- The page will refresh.
- Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.

Hmm, do I really need to update Java if I don't use it nor do I keep it running? I try to avoid using Java whenever I can, and I don't remember when I last updated my Java, hehe. Also , what's the Mbam process name so I can uncheck it in MSCONFIG, is there any benefit running it in background when it's not heuristic?
Uninstall Java if you don't use it.
You can set Malwarebytes to stop, then set it to Manual startup in "services".
Yeah, I'll uninstall Java then, since I only used Java when I played Runescape. :P
Also how do I disable Mbam? Can't seem to find it in msconfig. Do I set it to stop inside the program? If so, where?
Also, I guess my case is solved now?
In the start, search box, type services.msc >> click on the gear icon, scroll down to Malwarebytes', right click and choose properties, stop the service, then click on the button that says automatic and set it to manual, so you can still use it when you need to.You can set Malwarebytes to stop, then set it to Manual startup in "services".
Tell me if your Antivirus is working now.
Yeah, my antivirus should work correctly now.
I can't seem to find the malwarebytes service in services.msc. There is no service related to mbam that begins with the letter m. All I could find were different Microsoft services. And when I open Mbam I need to click "ok" on UAC for it to open. And it doesn't seem to be running, as I can't even find it in the services tab in task manager.
