Ever since version 2.0 came out it's been really bad. It stops responding all of the time. I get so many notifications even though I turned them off. The same notifications stack, so if you leave your computer on at night you'll have to close like 8 separate notifications all telling you to update it, which the button hardly ever works because it's usually found some shit on my PC throughout the night (always the same thing, not sure what's happening with that) and you can't update until you quarantine it.

 

Anyone else dislike the new Malwarebytes?

I have none of the problems listed by you. If malwarebytes is detecting something in your PC which can neither be removed nor be quarantined, then you should log in to safe mode with networking disabled after updating mbam and run a custom in depth scan. If the problem persists, you might need to reinstall windows or get a bootable anti virus CD/USB to do the dirty job.

I tried it out last week on a PC that needed fixing and i did notice that it looked a lot different. The "scan now" images look like those really bad website banners that send you to a virus and makes anyone with a sense of knowledge about these things think twice before clicking it.

oh god you're right. I don't use AV enough to even notice. I opened it and was hit in the face with a new interface, I clicked the "Scan" tab and it froze lol.

 

Then it unfroze and I tried to close it and it froze.

I just don't much care for the new UI. Other than that, there is nothing negative I can say about it.

 I have no problems with it but the UI is awful.

 

Oh that UI is truly awful.  Its so bad i thought my box was compromised and I downloaded a fake malwarebytes.  its so bad the ui designer that came up with that crap should not just be fired but should be publically stoned then tied to a post on a fire ant hill.

That was my initial reaction too after upgrading to the latest version. But apart from the UI I've had no other problems, it does its thing quietly in the background.
