Can your try to reinstall MalwareBytes?

Sure. I need a "clue"--can't remember how I installed it in the first place. I think Argus sent me a URL. Is that what I need? or should I be looking for some sort of installer already here? No clue.

(Been dealing with our 3rd blizzard in the last two weeks. Monumental snow piles everywhere!)

Computer's been ok, a little slow however--not up to its usual preformance speed.

I un-installed, then re-installed MalwareBytes and ran it.

Same problem: when it's done it closes immediately. I tried reopening it and it just started the scan over--no "Apply Actions" button or anything else.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong.
