Hello all, today I've attempted to scan my computer with Malwarebytes 2.0 (or to be more specific, 2.0.1.1004). I noticed it would periodically hang on certain items it tries to scan, although it would continue to scan after a minute or two has passed. However, after reaching the particular items around 80k or 90k it would just 'freeze', continually scanning that one item, even after 10mins had passed, it would still stay on that one item. The items I've noticed are either the Windows Store PNG items, or the Wallpaper Themes.
Any attempts at either stopping or closing the program have failed, pausing it does nothing, hard-drive activity is still prevalent as if my hard-drive was still being scanned, canceling does NOT stop the scan process, even closing the program doesn't stop it from 'scanning', forcing me to end Malwarebytes through the Task Manager, the results are the same in either safe mode or regular boot.
I'm wondering whether if my machine is either incompatible with 2.0, or if my installation is just corrupted. I've done the scan at-least half a'dozen times today, all with negative results. Is it better if I just rollback to the next to newest version? (1.6 or 7 was it?)
If anyone can provide assistance, i'd very much appreciate it.
