Malwarebytes Premium issues
I upgraded to the paid-for premium version of MBAM last week; installed the package, activated it, set it up and then went about my business as normal. At least it was supposed to be normal, but I discovered my memory usage went up from 27% in idle mode to 40% and my CPU monitor showed activity of up to 20% on frequent occasions despite nothing apparently happening in my resources Monitor. There was a distinct lag in my computer's response time to a lot of 'opening' operations (not irritating but definitely apparent) so I took it out and everything went back to normal (ie as it had been before installing MBAM).
Should this be happening? I don't find it acceptable. I've worked with MSE etc and run MBAM freeware scans regularly along with MSE scans and never found any boogie-men ,but I was just tempted to add an extra layer for £17 a year. Doesn't feel right to me; any comments folks?
