    I am trying to install MalwareBytes on my new laptop and when I try to open it the Runtime Error 5 keeps popping up and will not allow the program to open. Anyone know hot to get rid of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    According to Malwarebytes support forum you should download it again and try a reinstall.

    Keep in mind that if you are infected it is possible that the malware is blocking the install of Malwarebytes.

    If a second attempt to install it fails, restart your computer and tap the f8 button until you see a screen with choices. Choose "safe mode with networking" then download and install Malwarebytes. If you have to reboot return to safe mode and scan from there.

    Let me know how you make out.
