#Malwarebytes won t run update
Malwarebytes will probably launch its updating process in order to update its virus database and then it will proceed with the scan.Select the Scan option available at the home screen of the tool. Try running Malwarebytes to see if it opens.Make sure you choose a name which corresponds to some of the core Windows processes such as exe or explorer.exe in order to make sure the file name isn’t blocked by the virus.exe file in the Malwarebytes’ installation folder, right-click on it, and choose the Rename option from the context menu. Locate the tool’s installation folder manually by right-clicking its shortcut on Desktop or anywhere else and choosing Open file location option from the menu.This can be circumvented simply by renaming the executable. This means that, in case you are actually infected, you are unable to open Malwarebytes because the name of its executable is blocked by malware. Malicious files often prevent you from running various anti-malware tools by simply blocking the launch of executables named exactly the same. Consider switching to a different user profile! Corrupted user account – Using a corrupted or faulty user account on your Windows OS is quite dangerous and it can prevent you from using many different programs, including Malwarebytes.Renaming it might help resolve the problem.
