    After updating to version 1.21 this application hangs when scanning the registry, and can only be terminated by me manually shutting down the computer. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Hi

    Yes, reading the MalwareBytes forum and posts from the developer Marcin ( aka RubbeR DuckY) they are aware of this freezing issue and will update the application soon.

    Which OS you running? if Vista try this for me, right click MBM and run it as admin.

    i'm using vista home premium sp1. i did ty it as admin, and it ran for a minute longer before freezing. oh good, i thought i had a virus blocking it running,si i am relieved it is not my computer that is the problem

    Cheers for trying that, yes at least you know its not malware causing this and I know the MBM devs will be working hard to get a fix for this random freeze ( as its not affecting everyone ) out asap.
