    I've got MBAM Pro installed on 5 Windows OSs.
    In all cases it runs when I log in with a Standard/Limited account (or Admin).
    I don't remember if it asks "should it run for all users" during the install.
    By default the service is set as "Automatic (Delayed)"
    I always set it to "Automatic", so it starts right away.
    You may want to check on that.

    I install it with "Run As Administrator".
    Malwarebytes does recommend using their "MBAM-CLEAN.exe" tool to uninstall Malwarebytes.
    Here is a link to a Malwarebytes forum thread that has a link to the "mbam-clean.exe"

    Hi Glenn,

    I just checked how I did this. Uninstall it completely, and then install it under your usual user Account - not the Administrator Account.

    Let us know how you get on.

    I have no problem connecting to Malwarbytes.org. How many computers are you installing MAM-Pro on?

    Hello and thanks,
    I am attempting to install it on one computer. It was previously installed and I turned on the auto-protect and that only worked in the Admin account. I am still trying to get it to auto run in the user account. It shows in CCleaner that it is in the startup but does not run. I have not been able to connect to Malwarebytes in two days. I managed to get on the forum but when I try to post it won't connect. !!??
    Thanks for any help!
    Glenn
    BTW I have yet to be able to download the Pro version, can't connect.... and have tried using the new freeware which gives a trial PRO period. I allow the pro trial and then put in my license number.
