Hello everyone!

I already asked this earlier, but does anyone have noticed performance improvements with this bugfixing release?

I have been using malware bytes anti-malware FREE for a few years with absolutely no problem.
Yesterday I decided to buy 2.0.3.1025 for 1 year. After installation, laptop became unbootable until I stumbled across a delay option to start protection after x seconds after windows opened.
BUT.... system is now CRAWLING slow. Nothing opens (browser, folders, taskbar items....) must uninstall this is ridiculous.
Lenovo B570 win 7 64 bit.

It works fine on my win 7 64 desktop for some strange reason and it is the same downloaded file so it is not corrupt.

VERY disappointed!!!

Two more uninstalls and installs later... unchecked the advanced hueristic scan option, Also removed/unchecked "scan for rootkits" and "enable self - protection module". Everything seems back to full speed (or close enough) and booting OK.

No idea why. On my desktop they remain checked/on and I have no problem with speed.

Ooops! spoke too soon. Laptop is now freezing up and non-responsive!
Bummer.
I'm deactivating it on my laptop.
