I'm surprised no one has come to rant about the massive Malwarebytes problem yesterday.

They sent out a worldwide update that ate up your RAM before you knew it, then the swap usage would eat up memory on your hard disk, you'd have no memory and Windows would freeze. All this happened very quickly, so discovering what was causing the problem wasn't easy --you'd need to see your RAM disappearing via a meter and know it was Malwarebytes via Task Manager.

They blasted out an update fix pretty quickly but just getting a stable system long enough to download the update was tricky.

Horror stories on the blogs about companies with thousands of crashed computers in remote locations that needed individual attention.

Stopped using them a few years back. Even then I only did when I knew I had a problem, then I deleted it. Never been as happy as I am with Bitdefender.
