Cheers,

MoxieMomma,

Thanks much for the info!

Thank you for the info.

I had to disable the last version anytime I used Flash because it would endlessly re-spawn itself & not initiate whenever MBAE was running. They apparently fixed that problem as now anything Flash fires right up without problems. However, for some odd reason, it still blocks IE from launching. Nonetheless I'm glad they got one problem fixed.

Hi:

@cottonball:
You are most welcome, as always.

@Borg 386:
I don't personally use IE 11. And I don't know if your issue is related, but there is one very recent report of an issue with IE 11 here.

Having said that, the best way to sort this out would be to follow the requested steps HERE, and then to create a new topic in the MBAE support forum HERE
The MBAE Product Manager, pbust, is very hands-on and personally replies to all trouble reports.
I am confident he would be able to assist you with sorting the issue or (failing that) identifying any "bugs" that might be responsible.

Cheers,

Well, it was more of PIA then anything. Other people had the same problem, although there didn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to why. A majority of users did not have any problem, it was only a few (as far as I know.) A couple gamers I talked to had probs with playing until they disabled it.

I don't use IE as my default (That would be FF), but sometimes I do use it. Just one of those weird software things.....LOL. Someone told me with the new version, IE crashes when they close it, it comes back up again & then shuts down normally. Probably one obscure setting or program causing the whole debacle.

Thank you for the info & the links, I'll check it out.

Hi:

Yeah, I don't browse with IE, either.

There *is* an IE "False Positive" fix listed in the new version's changelog.
But, again, I don't know if that's related in any way to the behavior you describe.
And, again, unless these sorts of bugs/glitches are reported in the product support forum, it's unlikely they will come to the attention of the devs/QA team for a fix.
Up to you, of course.

One other suggestion would be a clean reinstall:

1- Close all running applications
2- Uninstall MBAE from the Control Panel
3- Reboot
4- Delete the MBAE user data directory -> C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit
5- Download and install the latest version from http://downloads.mal...s.org/file/mbae

Hope this helps,

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Like I said, more of a PIA then anything. I also have EMET running, so like I mentioned, could be a whole slew of different factors causing the prob. Since I don't use IE much, not too big of a deal, I'm glad they fixed the flash prob
